One 3D Printing Nozzle, Many Diameters

Varible Nozzle Technology – Unique idea in 3d printing industry

In material extrusion, you’ve traditionally been tied to one nozzle geometry and size. Ideally, you may want to have a larger nozzle to make large interior areas and a finer one to make edges and details. In this way, one can strike the right balance between speed and accuracy.

Several companies have attempted to do this either through tool changing or physically changing the nozzle diameter. They’ve mostly been unsuccessful due to factors like wall slip changes, pressure build up in the nozzle, lack of coordination between the nozzle and the feeder and more. A Belgian company, Sculpman, has been working for two years on its solution to having the best nozzle every single time.
