EX3 Filament Extruder

The Filabot EX3 is the accessible entry point into professional filament extrusion for education, research, MakerSpaces, recyclers, and development teams that want direct and robust control over the way filament is made. Built on a new platform, the EX3 makes high performance extrusion more accessible and intuitive without placing it in the hobbyist category. It gives users the ability to create, test, recycle, and produce filament from pellets, recycled feedstocks, powders, additives, fillers, and high performance, custom material blends. Material in. Filament out. Full control in between. The EX3 gives education programs, research teams, and material developers a hands-on way to explore filament extrusion, recycling, and process control. The EX3 supports professional material development workflows for teams building more control into filament production. Designed to Innovate With You High Torque, Precision Controlled Extrusion The EX3 delivers high torque and smooth, precision controlled extrusion to support stable screw speed, consistent flow, and repeatable high quality filament production, even when processing demanding materials. Up to 425°C Processing Capability With high thermal stability and extended temperature capability, the EX3 opens access to advanced polymers, high performance materials, and demanding R&D applications. Advanced and Versatile Screw and Nozzle Architecture A long 14:1 L/D barrel improves mixing, melting consistency, and process control while minimizing material degradation. Interchangeable screws and nozzles allow users to quickly optimize for different materials, fillers, and applications. Broad Material Compatibility From standard polymers to powders, additives, filled materials, and recycled feedstocks, the EX3 was designed for material flexibility. Advanced feeding and anti-clog support improve flow consistency across a broad range of formulations. A Scalable Platform You Won’t Outgrow The EX3 is built to last and serves as the foundation of a broader material development ecosystem, allowing users to expand into cooling, spooling, recycling, and larger workflows as their needs evolve. Built for Better Filament Workflows Making reliable filament requires more than melting plastic. Feedstock, screw design, nozzle selection, temperature, motor control, cooling, pull rate, and spooling all influence final filament quality. The EX3 gives users a practical way to bring that process in-house. Whether you are developing new materials, teaching material science, recycling failed prints, or validating a custom blend, the EX3 helps you move from raw material to usable filament with greater control. Download the EX3 Brochure Interchangeable Screw and Nozzle Options Different materials behave differently during extrusion. The EX3 supports interchangeable screws and nozzles so users can better match the extrusion process to their material, feedstock, and application. No Compression Screw Useful when a material or process benefits from conveying without added compression. Normal Compression Screw A general-purpose option for common filament extrusion workflows and standard pelletized feedstocks. High Compression Screw Designed to support applications where additional compression helps optimize the material processing goal. A vast selection of interchangeable nozzle options give users another way to tune the EX3 for different filament sizes, materials, and workflow requirements. Designed for Education, R&D, and Recycling Education Help students move beyond printing and into material science, extrusion, recycling, and process control. R&D Labs Develop, test, and validate new polymers, additives, fillers, recycling, and custom formulations in-house. Recycling Programs Turn prepared plastic feedstocks into usable filament and support circular material workflows. Part of the Filabot Ecosystem The EX3 is more than a standalone extruder. It is an accessible starting point within the broad Filabot plastic circular ecosystem. Users can begin with extrusion, then expand into specific air or water cooling, tighter diameter measurement and controls, Filabot analytics, standard or large spooling, and various recycling options as their demands grow. Step 1 Reclaim Prepare plastic waste, prints, or recyclables for reuse. Step 2 Extrude Convert pellets, regrind, powder with additives into filament. Step 3 Cool Stabilize and control the filament as it exits the extruder. Step 4 Spool Measure, analyse and collect filament into quality spools. Step 5 Print Use the Filabot filament in your printing applications.
