Thermoplastic Extruder

Material Preparation & Feeding Unit

High-capacity industrial pellet drying ensures a continuous, moisture-free material supply for "Pellet-to-Part" extrusion, which is critical for maintaining material integrity during long-duration, large-scale prints.

7-Axis Robotic Motion Platform

6-axis industrial robot integrated with a high-precision synchronous linear track configuration provides an expansive 7-axis work envelope, enabling the manufacturing of oversized industrial components in a single, seamless setup.

AVEX Series Thermoplastic Extruder

High-flow pellet extrusion system features layer-time based control, advanced multi-zone thermal control to process engineering-grade polymers and carbon-fiber-reinforced composites with high deposition rates.

Customizable Modular Build Plate

This platform is engineered to be modified according to specific customer needs and wishes. It supports modular extensions, or specialized fixings for high-load milling operations, ensuring the system evolves with your production requirements.

Automated Tool Changing Station

Universal tool-swapping interface for hybrid operations enables the system to transition autonomously between additive manufacturing (printing) and subtractive manufacturing (milling), maximizing the efficiency of the hybrid production cycle.

Robotic Milling & Finishing Unit

Automatic robotic spindle head changing station for precision subtractive post-processing designed to achieve tight tolerances and high-quality surface finishes on "near-net-shape" printed parts, eliminating the need for manually changing tooling heads.

Integrated Control & Automation Cabinet

Houses the high-speed PLC and motion controllers that ensure millisecond-level synchronization between the 7-axis motion and the material extrusion flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AVEX Series?

The AVEX Series is a family of industrial thermoplastic extruders developed for large-scale additive manufacturing (LFAM). It consists of three models—AVEX15, AVEX20, and AVEX32—engineered to deliver reliable and high-throughput extrusion for large-format 3D printing applications.

What applications is the AVEX Series designed for?

The AVEX Series is designed for producing large-scale prototypes, composite molds, jigs and fixtures, structural components, and low- to medium-volume production parts that require high material deposition rates.

Which industries use the AVEX Series?

AVEX extruders are used in a wide range of industries, including defense, aerospace, automotive, marine, construction and architecture, interior design, furniture, and industrial manufacturing.

What are the main differences between AVEX15, AVEX20, and AVEX32?

The main differences between the models are extrusion capacity and intended use. AVEX15 provides up to 15 kg/h for R&D environments and mid-size prototypes. AVEX20 delivers up to 25 kg/h and is suited for industrial prototyping and tooling. AVEX32 offers up to 50 kg/h and is designed for heavy-duty production and large structural components.

What is the maximum extrusion temperature of the AVEX Series?

All AVEX Series extruders support extrusion temperatures of up to 450°C, enabling the processing of high-performance thermoplastic materials.

Which thermoplastic materials are supported?

The AVEX Series supports advanced thermoplastics suitable for LFAM, including glass-filled polypropylene (PP GF), PETG, glass-filled PETG (PETG GF), carbon-filled polycarbonate (PC CF), and glass- or carbon-filled nylon (PA6 GF/CF).

Can reinforced materials such as glass-filled or carbon-filled polymers be processed?

Yes. The screw and barrel geometry of the AVEX Series is specifically designed to process reinforced thermoplastics while maintaining stable melt quality during continuous operation.

What is the maximum output capacity of the AVEX Series?

The AVEX32 model offers a maximum output capacity of 50 kg per hour, representing the highest throughput within the AVEX Series lineup.

What nozzle sizes are available?

AVEX Series extruders support nozzle diameters ranging from 2 mm to 16 mm, allowing flexibility in bead width and material deposition rate.

Is the AVEX Series compatible with robotic systems?

Yes. The AVEX Series is engineered for robotic LFAM applications and supports integration with industrial robotic platforms, including KUKA robots.

Which software solutions are compatible with the AVEX Series?

The AVEX Series is compatible with ENCY for advanced robotic CAM, Ai Build for AI-driven path optimization and simulation, and Adaxis for multi-axis robotic additive manufacturing workflows.

How is thermal stability managed during high-throughput printing?

Thermal stability is ensured through water-cooled barrels and nozzles, allowing consistent extrusion performance during high-output and long-duration printing operations.

What safety features are included in the AVEX Series?

AVEX extruders are designed according to industrial safety best practices and include temperature protection systems and safety interlocks.

Does AVENCO provide installation and commissioning support?

Yes. AVENCO provides installation, commissioning, and process tuning support, including mechanical mounting assistance, material parameter setup, and workflow handover for supported software platforms.
