At Noztek, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of desktop filament extrusion technology. Our passion lies in creating entirely new product designs that are not only revolutionary but also unprecedented on a global scale. Following the success of our notable recent innovations—including the fusionX extruder and the robotic printing Infinity conveyor—we’re now developing our most ambitious component yet: a totally unique mixing screw for filament extruders.
Innovation Beyond Conventional Filament Extruder Design
Our approach to filament extruder development has always focused on breakthrough technologies that redefine what’s possible in desktop manufacturing. This philosophy has led to industry-leading innovations that serve researchers, manufacturers, and institutions worldwide.

Recent Breakthrough Technologies

FusionX Hot Melt Extruder: This advanced system has revolutionized laboratory and composite mixing capabilities, offering unprecedented precision in material processing. The fusionX represents the pinnacle of desktop filament extrusion technology for high-end applications.

Robotic Printing Infinity Conveyor: Our continuous printing solution eliminates traditional build volume limitations, enabling infinite-length printing applications that were previously impossible with conventional desktop systems.

Different Types of Intermixer Screw Designs

The Challenge: Making Advanced Technology Accessible
While the fusionX hot melt extruder has advanced the capabilities of laboratory and composite mixing significantly, its premium pricing may be prohibitive for a substantial number of potential customers. This reality prompted the Noztek engineering team to explore more cost-effective alternatives that could deliver advanced mixing capabilities without compromising quality.
Revolutionary Mixing Screw Development
Our solution: developing a totally unique mixing screw that can be integrated into our existing desktop filament extruder platforms. This innovative component promises to deliver many of the advanced mixing capabilities of the fusionX system at a fraction of the cost.
