3D Printer Filament Inspection

3D Printing has revolutionized the manufacturing process, being used in industries that range from casual prototyping to aerospace component manufacturing. For 3D printer filament manufacturers looking to supply only the highest quality filament to their buyers, Taymer provides an innovative filament solution that will give your facility the confidence and capability you need to deliver exceptional 3D printer filament. Eliminate waste, facilitate production, and enhance customer satisfaction by purchasing our 3D printer filament inspection equipment for your manufacturing facility.

Identify Defective Filament with our Surface Inspection (SI) series

Despite being a highly advanced piece of technology, the integrity and appearance of 3D printwork can be easily compromised by poor quality or defective filament. 

If left unchecked, defective filament can result in a poor-quality print job that will consequently cause unwanted costs and delays to both your buyer and their own customers. 

Defective filament can also lead to nozzle damage to the 3D printer itself, an incident no filament manufacturer wants their buyer to experience. A damaged 3D printer will incur heavy servicing and cleaning expenses that can easily cause a financial burden for your buyer and negatively affect the reputation of your filament company as a result. 

Our inspection solution eliminates the risk of defective filament and gives your buyers greater confidence in your company as their preferred supplier with spot-free filament. Just like our wire inspection technology, our filament inspection technology judges filament to ensure a perfectly round profile with no variation on both its diameter or surface appearance.

Surface & Dimensional Inspection

Our SI3100 Surface Defect Detector provides a complete inspection that locates and judges any defects to the precision of a single square millimeter. Recommended for inspecting the full circumference of your 3D printer filament, this detector captures images that can be easily digitally shared or printed for further review by technicians. 

Dimensional Inspection

Specifically designed for detecting lumps or neckdowns that are not visible on the surface, Taymer’s Lump and Neckdown Detector is able to capture images that identify any variation within the diameter of your 3D printer filament. We also provide software that will assist technicians in inspecting any lumps or neckdowns, as well as assessing whether action is required.
