Reduce purge waste!
Upgrading our multi‑filament 3D printers from purging systems to tool‑head‑changing systems will cut filament waste by more than 80%.
Why it matters
Sustainability: reduced landfill/resin/filament disposal and better alignment with corporate environmental goals.
Current purging printers force long purge towers or ooze wipes whenever the toolpath switches filaments, consuming large volumes of usable filament.
Tool‑head changers swap the entire hotend or nozzle assembly, eliminating the need for extensive purging between colors/materials.
Lower waste reduces material costs, decreases printer downtime for filament handling, and shrinks our environmental footprint.
Key benefits
Waste reduction: >80% less purged filament, translating to immediate material savings.
Faster prints: no long purge sequences or towers — shorter print times and fewer failures related to purge issues.
Cleaner parts: fewer purge artifacts and less risk of contamination between filaments.
Operational efficiency: simpler spool management, reduced maintenance from oozing/ooze‑wipe systems, and more consistent quality.
