Noztek Touch
The TOUCH series brings professional-grade filament extrusion to your fingertips
Overview
A precision hot-melt extruder for desktop environments. The Touch is engineered for material scientists, educators, and hobbyists who require laboratory-grade consistency without laboratory complexity. Dual independently controlled heater zones—nozzle and barrel—maintain temperature stability across single-digit materials or composite formulations. Built-in encoder feedback locks screw speed to ±1°C accuracy. Choose the Standard Touch for PLA, ABS, PETG, and recycled materials up to 300°C, or the HT model for PEEK, PEI, and advanced polymers to 500°C—same interface, expandable capability.
Key Features
Viscosity? No Problem.
50 RPM high-torque 16.5 Nm DC motor – effortlessly handles viscous and challenging experimental materials.
Plug & Play
The machine is delivered fully assembled and prepared for extrusion.
Premium Stainless Steel Construction
Features a fully stainless steel barrel, screw, and nozzles for superior corrosion resistance and durability.
Full Process Control
Independent adjustment of motor speed and heater temperature for precise, repeatable results.
Seamless Laptop Integration
Connect directly to your laptop for real-time monitoring of all critical extrusion parameters during each run.
Custom Touch Screen Control
Establish extrusion settings and oversee the full process directly on our dedicated touchscreen display.
Precision & Control
Precision Dual-Zone Thermal Control
Two independently controlled PID heater bands — nozzle and barrel — maintain ±1°C accuracy throughout the run. Dial in precise temperature profiles for each material without compromise, from standard PLA to high-temperature engineering polymers up to 500°C (HT model).
Variable Speed with Encoder Feedback
A built-in encoder provides real-time screw speed monitoring and correction, maintaining consistent RPM regardless of material viscosity changes. The result: uniform melt flow and repeatable filament diameter from the first metre to the last.
Session Automation
Set your target temperature, speed, and run duration — the Touch manages the rest. Auto-shutdown at session end and preheat lock (motor won't start until target temp is reached) means you can walk away without risk to materials or machine.
Data & Materials
Live Data. Every Run.
USB connectivity streams real-time temperature and speed data directly to your laptop via Noztek's controller software. Log, export, and compare run data across sessions — essential for process development and reproducibility documentation.
Built for Abrasive and Composite Materials
Full stainless steel barrel, screw, and nozzles resist wear from carbon fibre, glass-filled, and metal-loaded compounds. The optional stainless steel chassis takes durability further — purpose-built for lab environments where contamination and hygiene standards matter.
Two Models, One Platform
The Standard Touch handles PLA, ABS, PETG, PP, HDPE, and recycled materials up to 300°C. Step up to the Touch HT for PEEK, PEI, and high-performance composites up to 500°C — same interface, same footprint, extended capability.
