This extruder is ideal to produce a few bobbins of monofilament for 3D printing. These spools can then be used in 3D printers to evaulate printing behaviour and part properties. This way you will get a fast impression of extrudability and printability of polymer grades. With a few iterative steps you can quickly and effectivily realize the development of new filaments.

The Haake polylab system is a versatile piece of laboratory equipment. Its base consists of a powerfull motor and a torque measurement device. On this base unit an extruder module can be attached. This module is equipped with a Fasti resin drying to ensure that the extrudable polymer stays dry and won’t suffer from thermo-oxidative degradation. For filament extrusion a melt pump is added to the configuration, to guarantee an accurate and constant flow. Several capillary dies can be attached ranging in size from 0.3 mm up to 3.6 mm (see table below for all capillaries). Piloting filaments including monofilaments for the 3D printing industry is possible for almost every thermoplastic. We can produce samples on a bobbin with various diameters (including 1.75 and 2.85 mm).
