Cómo fabricamos filamento de impresora 3D

La creación de filamento premium para impresora es un proceso de fabricación meticuloso, fundamental para lograr impresiones 3D fiables y de alta resolución. Eolas Prints se dedica a producir materiales superiores, garantizando que cada bobina ofrezca un rendimiento constante y excepcional para cualquier proyecto. Este proceso convierte los polímeros en bruto en una hebra uniforme, perfectamente optimizada para tu impresora 3D.

Utilizamos materiales como el versátil filamento PLA, que se extruye con una tolerancia de diámetro estricta. Esta precisión es fundamental para evitar atascos en el extrusor y favorecer un flujo de material uniforme. El beneficio directo es una mejor adhesión entre capas y un acabado superficial impecable en los objetos impresos finales. El valor de un filamento de impresora de alta calidad se refleja en la fiabilidad del proceso de impresión y en la integridad de la pieza terminada.

Step 1 - Sourcing

Sourcing

Here at Eolas Prints, our manufacturing process starts with the sourcing raw materials in the form of pellets. We only buy premium quality raw material with full traceability.

Drying

Next, we will proceed to dry the pellets. Pellets are hydrophilic elements, which means that they can absorb humidity. This humidity is eliminated during the drying process.

Step 2 - Drying
Step 3 - Extrusion

Extrusion

In this stage, the dried pellets are fed into the extruder which includes a heating chamber. They are melted in this chamber and shaped into string-like material, called filament.

Cooling

After leaving the heating chamber, the filament is pulled through multiple water chambers. The first chamber contains hot water that helps achieve a rounded shape for its new state. The second chamber houses lukewarm water to help solidify and cool down the filament.

Step 4 - Cooling
Step 5 - Spooling

Spooling

Here, motors pull the filament from the cooling chamber to a spooling mechanism. The process starts with measuring the diameter of that filament by laser device, making sure it is within tolerance - 1.75 mm or 2.85 mm

Packaging

The spools are then vacuum packed and boxed using a sturdy box. The finished product is then ready to be shipped anywhere in the world, making sure it arrives safe and sound without damage.
