Two years have passed since we launched our Dual T to the market with a powerful configuration that allowed 3D printing of the most demanded technical materials of the moment. However, in line with the evolution of the materials market, we have decided to incorporate as standard the high temperature PRO kit, which until today was optional but will now be part of the machine's standard configuration.

This configuration enables 3D printing of the latest technical materials thanks to three key technical upgrades: Improved extruder torque, increased hotend temperature and increased extruder and hotend wear resistance.

Improved extruder torque

Achieving an increase in torque is necessary to be able to pull the hardest materials on the market. For this purpose, we have incorporated a 100% metal extruder with a redesigned dual drive pinion system that generates up to 10 kg of force without damaging the filament and is capable of resisting the conditions of the 70°C heated chamber of the Dual T for years.

High hotend temperature

The new hotend includes a titanium heat-break with ceramic coating and Inconel seals that protect against abrasion and reduce friction with the filament. Its high-temperature heating block reaches up to 500°C with a special sensing system that ensures fine temperature control.

High abrasion resistance

To close the proposal we have included a tungsten carbide nozzle, a super wear resistant material, almost as hard as diamond, which allows the printing of materials loaded with abrasive ceramic fibers such as carbon fiber, which otherwise would not be possible with traditional bronze nozzles. On the other hand, its excellent thermal performance allows to keep the tip hot during printing without losing quality.

With this decision, we have expanded the serial potential of the Dual T to handle fiber-reinforced materials and those requiring high temperatures, above 300°C.
