When the filament gets too cold, the 3D printer may fail to extrude smoothly, causing gaps in the print.

The technician calibrated the extruder before starting the new production run.

The aluminum profile was extruded to create a lightweight frame.

The factory installed two new extruders to increase production of PVC pipes.

The extrudate cooled quickly on the conveyor belt before it was cut into lengths.

The lab analyzed the extrudates to determine their thermal stability and mechanical properties.

The 3D printer extrudes molten plastic through its nozzle to build the model layer by layer.

The extrudable polymer was fed into the die to form hollow tubing.

The machine kept extruding melted plastic into uniform strands late into the night.

The engineers compared the extrudabilities of the two polymer blends before scaling up production.
