PBC Linear's subsidiary, 3DPlatform, produces industrial 3D printers and an extensive range of durable spare parts. Here you can buy robust extruders capable of handling various filament sizes and delivering unmatched speed. You can also buy high flow nozzles, thermistors and other hot end assembly components that promise reliability and the finest print quality.
What is an extruder?
A 3D printer extruder is an exchangeable part of a 3D printer that is responsible for feeding and melting the printing material, usually thermoplastic filament, to create three-dimensional objects layer by layer.

Key Functions of a 3D Printer Extruder
Material Feeding: The extruder pulls filament from a spool and feeds it into the hot end of the printer.
Heating: The hot end heats the filament to its melting point, allowing it to be extruded through a nozzle.
Extrusion: As the melted filament is pushed through the nozzle, it is deposited onto the print bed in precise paths, forming the desired shape.
Control of Flow: The extruder regulates the flow rate of the filament, which is essential for achieving consistent layer thickness and print quality.
PBC Linear's sister company, 3DPlatform, produces extruders that consist mainly of the HFE (High Flow Extruder) product line. These extruders work at a speed (throughput) from 2 times the baseline speed of a Volcano brand extruder, to up to 16 times the speed (throughput). You can also buy a special air cooled extruder product called HFA (High Flow Air-Cooled).

Key Functions of an Extruder Nozzle
- Material Dispensing: The nozzle allows the melted filament to exit the hot end of the printer and be extruded in a controlled manner, forming the desired shape layer by layer.
- Temperature Regulation: The nozzle is designed to withstand high temperatures, ensuring the filament remains in its molten state as it passes through.
- Flow Control: The nozzle’s diameter affects the flow rate of the filament. Smaller nozzles allow for finer details and smoother surfaces, while larger nozzles enable faster printing with thicker layers.
- Precision: The nozzle's design ensures precise deposition of material, which is crucial for achieving accurate dimensions and surface quality in the final print.
In this online store, you can also buy a one meter square glass print bed and other components of your hot end assembly, such as thermistors. We do not sell filaments themselves but can recommend where to buy the highest quality 3D printer filaments.
