extruders
Machines forcing material
Extruders are machines that force material through a shaped opening to produce objects with a continuous profile.
Plastic extruders push molten polymer through a die to make pipes, tubes, and sheets.
In 3D printing, the extruder is the component that feeds and deposits filament.
Industrial extruders process everything from aluminum to pasta dough.
