Abstract
The invention relates to an extrusion nozzle (1) for processing 3D printing material, having a nozzle base (2) with a seat (22) for fastening in a 3D printing device and an outlet portion (21), said outlet portion (21) comprising a nozzle insert (3), and the nozzle base (2) consisting of a solid carbide, metal or brass and the nozzle insert (3) including a PCD (polycrystalline diamond) material.
Claims14
An extrusion nozzle for a 3D printer, comprising:
- a first nozzle portion and a second nozzle portion,
- the first nozzle portion comprises a first material selected from among solid carbide, metal and brass, and the first nozzle defines a first interior channel region,
- the second nozzle portion comprises a second material, the second material comprising polycrystalline diamond material, and the second nozzle portion defines a second interior channel region,
- the first channel portion and the second channel portion together define a channel that extends from a rear end of the extrusion nozzle to a front end of the extrusion nozzle along a longitudinal axis of the extrusion nozzle,
- the first channel region is cylindrical and has a first diameter, and extends from the rear end of the extrusion nozzle to a front end of the first channel region,
- the second channel region extends from a rear end of the second channel region to a front end of the second channel region, the front end of the second channel region is at the front end of the extrusion nozzle,
- the second nozzle portion abuts the first nozzle portion such that the front end of the first channel region is adjacent to the rear end of the second channel region,
- the second channel region comprises a tapered region, the tapered region extending from the rear end of the second channel region to a front end of the tapered region, the tapered region has the first diameter at the rear end of the second channel region, the tapered region has a second diameter at the front end of the tapered region, the second diameter is smaller than the first diameter, and said tapered region begins where the first material abuts the second material at the front end of the first channel region, and
- an entirety of the second nozzle portion is to a front side of the front end of the first channel region.
An FDM-3D-extrusion nozzle for 3D-printing with 3D printing material filaments, wherein the FDM-3D-extrusion nozzle comprises a nozzle body and a nozzle insert, wherein in a rear portion the nozzle body comprises a threaded seat for screwing into a 3D printing device and in a front portion the nozzle body comprises an outlet portion, wherein the outlet portion comprises the nozzle insert at a front tip, wherein the nozzle body is made of a solid carbide, metal, or brass, and the nozzle insert is made completely of a polycrystalline diamond material, wherein
- the FDM-3D-extrusion nozzle comprises a continuous channel for transporting the 3D printing material filament,
- the continuous channel comprising a cylindrical interior channel portion formed in the nozzle body and an interior channel portion formed in the nozzle insert,
- the channel portion formed in the nozzle insert continuing the cylindrical channel portion formed in the nozzle body and opening in an outlet opening of the nozzle insert, and consisting of a tapered portion extending toward the outlet opening and a second portion continuing the tapered portion and opening into the outlet opening, the tapered portion beginning where the channel portion formed in the nozzle insert abuts the cylindrical channel portion formed in the nozzle body.
