3D Printing Filament Extrusion Technical Guides

Technical guides explain how the extrusion process works and what to check when filament dimension or line stability drifts. They follow the order of the process: extrusion, cooling, diameter control, traction and winding.

Automatic Filament Winding: Tension, Spooling and Filament End Fixing

Two settings decide how a spool leaves the line: the tension the filament is wound under, and how the filament end is fixed. This guide compares tape fixing with threading hole fixing and lists the spool details a winding machine is specified around.

How 3D Printing Filament Is Made: The Extrusion Process Explained

Filament is made by melting pellets, forming a strand, cooling it to a fixed diameter, measuring that diameter in line and winding the finished filament onto a spool. This guide follows the five stages and shows which one decides which property of the finished spool.
