One of the disadvantages of FDM \/ FFF technologies is the inability to mix several colors simultaneously during manufacturing. A first option to obtain a colored model is to pause a current print to change the filament and then restart. Another option to avoid doing so and which has a better acceptance is to choose dual extrusion 3D printing or with even more extruders.<\/p>\n

The Polish company 3DGence has opted for this in its line of 3D printers and has decided to test the capacity of their machines<\/strong> by sending out free 3D printing samples<\/a> created by their new machine, the 3DGence DOUBLE\u00a0to see how the soluble materials work.<\/p>\n

The model chosen by the company is a mountain bike brake. Printed using PLA and a BVOH soluble support material, they have been able to develop a model that a single extruder printer cannot make. The brake layer is 0.25mm\u00a0high and takes approximately 3 hours to print.<\/p>

3D printed model chosen from 3DGence<\/p><\/div>\n

3DGence\u2019s main aim is to show how easy it is to use their machine<\/b>, as well as how useful a dual 3D printer can be. The material chosen by the machine was water-soluble BVOH which, unlike other 3D printing materials<\/a><\/span>, allows for the supports to be removed much more easily by simply submerging it in warm water. BVOH dissolves in water at a temperature of around 50\u00baC, and helps to produce models with complex geometries as well as advance developments such as topological optimisation in 3D models.<\/p>\n

\u201c3DGence DOUBLE\u201d and their dual extrusion 3D printing<\/h2>\n

The 3DGence DOUBLE<\/span><\/a> printer arrived on the market on March the 15th and is equipped with a double extruder. It follows the brand\u2019s first machine, INDUSTRY, which was launched in 2014. As part of our ranking of the best dual machines<\/a><\/span>, it fits the company\u2019s tradition of choosing machines with a more industrial character.<\/p>\n

The idea of the 3DGence machine is to bring dual extrusion 3D printing to a much simpler level with material flow control, autocalibration, a print volume of 190 x 255 x 195 mm and a touch screen of 4.3 inches, which allows a company to adopt it into its production chain.<\/p>\n
