Our proprietary laser/computer-controlled extruder allows for rapid prototyping and development of tubes and rods with softening points of up to 800º C. The precision extruder can produce virtually any cross-section geometry as well as multiple bores in rods and tubing. Diameters of up to 75 mm and lengths greater than 1 meter can be achieved. The extruder is capable of generating 2.5 tons at up to 250 psi while feeding up to 4 liters of glass per hour.
