<p>We are excited to introduce the latest advancements in extruder designs and components. Our extruders are now utilized in renowned research institutes, including MIT in Massachusetts and enterprises focusing on innovative packaging solutions.</p>
<p>Moreover, smaller companies innovating with new materials, such as blending recycled plastics with carbon fibers. In these applications, we've introduced new extensions and firmware features aimed at optimizing monitoring and control of the extrusion process.</p>
<h4 id="largescaleadditivemanufacturinglsam">Large scale additive manufacturing (LSAM)</h4>
<p>Beyond research and development, we are happy to share updates for large-scale 3D printing. Lydia-v3 extruders have been adopted for ABB and Kuga robots. We're also pleased to make the code and firmware available, designed to interface with Omron inverters and temperature controllers.</p>
<h4 id="beams">Beams</h4>
<p>Since manual injection machines proved to be restrictive, we decided to explore how far we could push small extruders, in particular extruding larger blocks, providing impeccable raw stock. Air voids have been resolved by adding a spring-loaded plunger that keeps the plastic melt compact and uniform.</p>
<p>We've come to the conclusion that producing quality products from premium raw stock demonstrates a more cost-effective solution, eliminating the need for expensive molds. Molds are notoriously limited when it comes to compensating for material properties like shrinkage and adding features like bores, which require draft angles, among other constraints. Tests to machine the extruded plastic, showed highly satisfying and promising results.</p>

<p>We introduced a new mould design that allows for a clean, safe and repeatable process. The mould is height adjustable and rollers prevent damage of the heat press plate but also position the mould inside the sheetpress always at the same place. Furthermore the outer protection sheets snap onto the mould frame to avoid plastic from falling out. No mould release agent is needed.</p>
