Dyze Design, a Montreal-based manufacturer of high-performance 3D printer extruders, has just announced the launch of their latest innovation – the Pulsar™ Atom. This compact precision pellet extruder is designed to provide high precision, productivity, and uncompromising performance for industrial 3D printing applications.
The Pulsar™ Atom stands out from other extruders on the market due to its ability to reach temperatures of up to 450℃, making it suitable for working with high-temperature materials. In addition, it boasts a material output rate of 800 grams per hour, enabling high-speed and high-productivity 3D printing.
To gain further insights into the Pulsar™ Atom, we spoke with Simon Duchaine, the Chief Commercial Officer at Dyze Design. Duchaine emphasized their dedication to empowering 3D printing professionals and highlighted that the Pulsar™ Atom is a testament to their commitment to precision, quality, and performance in 3D printing. He expressed excitement about bringing this transformative technology to the market, which he believes will revolutionize the approach to 3D printing, moving away from filament-based methods.
According to Philippe Carrier, Dyze Design’s Chief Technology Officer, the design of the Pulsar™ Atom is the result of relentless engineering and innovation. Their goal was to create an extruder that not only meets but exceeds the demands of industrial 3D printing. Carrier explained that the Pulsar™ Atom redefines what is possible in terms of material compatibility, precision, and ease of use, making it a game-changer for industries reliant on 3D printing technology.
The Pulsar™ Atom complements Dyze Design’s existing extrusion portfolio, which includes the Typhoon™ high-flow extruder, the Pulsar™ large-scale pellet extruder, the DyzeXtruder GT, and the DyzeXtruder Pro. However, Duchaine pointed out that the Pulsar™ Atom marks a clear departure from their previous offerings, as it operates on a different technology. He described the DyzeXtruder GT and Pro as suited for desktop format machines with high-temperature requirements, using filament as the raw material. On the other hand, the Pulsar™ Atom utilizes granules/pellets as the source material, has a taller and stiffer design, and is geared towards larger-scale machines with high throughput needs to address the issue of slow print times on large build volumes.
One of the key features of the Pulsar™ Atom is its ability to handle high temperatures, reaching up to 450°C. It incorporates two high-fidelity PT100 sensors to ensure accurate temperature control, with each sensor connected to one of the extruder’s independent heaters. This capability allows the Pulsar™ Atom to handle a wide range of materials. Duchaine explained that you can extrude any thermoplastic, composite, or elastomer material you can find. However, it is important to consider the suitability of each material for additive manufacturing, taking into account factors such as warpage and bed adhesion.
Duchaine also highlighted the cost and sustainability advantages of pellet-based 3D printing compared to other additive manufacturing methods. By using raw materials to create their own filament, users can save up to 10 times on material costs. Even for PLA, the savings can still go up to 3 times the cost. Additionally, pellet-based extruders open up opportunities in recycling and sustainability. When equipped with the right equipment, users can utilize recycled materials and even reuse their own plastics.
The Pulsar™ Atom is designed to withstand high temperatures, up to 150°C, ensuring durability and reliability in demanding environments. Duchaine believes that this extruder represents a significant advancement in industrial and pellet-based 3D printing. Its ability to reach temperatures of up to 450°C, while withstanding temperatures of up to 150°C, opens up a world of possibilities for professionals looking to push the boundaries of thermoplastic manufacturing.
It is clear that Dyze Design’s Pulsar™ Atom has the potential to bring about a major shift in the world of 3D printing. With its high precision, productivity, and outstanding performance, this compact extruder is set to empower industries to explore new possibilities and make significant advancements in the field of additive manufacturing.
Dyze Design, a leading provider of innovative 3D printing technologies, has introduced the Pulsar™ Atom, a compact and powerful extruder designed for professionals who require reliability and precision in their 3D printing projects. What sets the Pulsar™ Atom apart is its exceptional heat resistance, allowing it to thrive in even the most challenging environments.
To further enhance its performance and longevity in high-temperature environments, Dyze Design also offers liquid-cooling options for the Pulsar™ Atom. By adding liquid-cooling blocks and high-temperature connectors to the extruder, users can optimize its performance and ensure reliable extrusion.
Consistency and reliability are the hallmarks of the Pulsar™ Atom. With a compression ratio of 1.5, it guarantees consistent and reliable extrusion across a wide range of thermoplastics. The extruder also boasts a mass flow stability of less than 5%, which translates to precise and high-quality 3D prints. In terms of material output, the Pulsar™ Atom delivers between 0.8kg and 1kg per hour, significantly reducing production time and boosting productivity.
Dyze Design understands that flexibility is crucial in the world of 3D printing. That’s why the Pulsar™ Atom offers a wide range of nozzle sizes, from 0.4mm to 2.5mm, to meet diverse printing needs. It is optimized for 2.75mm/3mm potato-shaped pellets, ensuring reliable and clog-free extrusion.
Despite its powerful capabilities, the Pulsar™ Atom remains compact and lightweight. Weighing less than 1.5kg and standing at under 245mm in height, it can be easily integrated into any existing manufacturing setup. Additionally, the Pulsar™ Atom can be powered by either a 110V or 220V supply, allowing users to adapt to their local power requirements.
One of the notable features of the Pulsar™ Atom is its compatibility with open-source firmware and popular 3D printer controller boards like Duet3D and BTT SKR. This seamless integration provides users with more options and enhances the overall user experience.
The versatility of the Pulsar™ Atom extends beyond traditional 3D printing. With over 45 degrees of liberty around the nozzle, it is well-suited for robotic applications and non-planar 3D printing. This makes it an ideal choice for industries such as medical and architecture, where precision and speed are critical.
In terms of pricing, the Pulsar™ Atom starts at around $3,700 USD. However, depending on the additional options and configuration chosen, the price can go up to $4,430 USD.
