MDPE10 - Direct Print Particle Extruder - Standard Series

The MDPE10 extruder outputs 10lbs per hour, five times more material than the MDPH2 extruder. This higher output allows for shorter print times and wider wall thicknesses in a single pass. The MDPE10 has three more heat zones, for a total of 4 zones, and a 24:1 L/D ratio swappable extruder screws. To meet the demands of the polymer processing characteristics, five screws have been designed for the job. The zones and longer screw melt, pressurize, and output polymer more consistently during large format 3D printing.
