3D Printing Filament Testing Machine

Core advantage

One-stop workflow: Integrating feeding, extrusion, cooling, winding and real-time monitoring into one, there is no need to transfer materials between different devices, avoiding secondary pollution and errors.

Data-driven R&D: Equipped with high-precision sensors, it collects and presents key process data (such as melt pressure, temperature, and diameter) in real time, providing quantitative basis for optimizing formulas and processes.

Unparalleled flexibility: The modular design enables users to quickly replace components such as screws, die heads, and cooling tanks, easily handling a wide range of materials from general-purpose plastics to high-performance engineering plastics and even special composite materials.

Outstanding stability: Utilizing precision servo motors and industrial-grade PID temperature control systems, it ensures an extremely stable extrusion process, guaranteeing the high repeatability and reliability of experimental data.
