About Xtrution
Xtrution was founded in 2004 in Hoorn, the Netherlands, by Servan Bakker, to build extruders and complete extrusion lines for the plastics industry. Servan already had years of experience in extruder building and design, gained at Techniplast B.V. in Zwaag.
In 2012 we built our first extruder for 3D printing, the 1820D. It was also used in the KamerMaker of DUS Architects. Since then we have brought our know-how of screws, barrels and process control to large-format printing: short extruders with high output, light enough to mount on the machine that prints.
Today we build 3D printing extruders from 0.5 to 23 kg/h as standard and up to 80 kg/h on request, complete robot cells and white-label extruders for machine builders. We still build extruders for other extrusion applications, and we service, upgrade and improve existing lines, including extruders from other makers. All from the Netherlands.
Milestones
- 2004Founded in Hoorn, the NetherlandsXtrution starts building extruders and extrusion equipment for the plastics industry.
- 2010First pipe coating extrudersA co-polymer and an HDPE/PP extruder with flat dies, for the three-layer anti-corrosion coating of steel pipes.
- 2012First 3D printing extruderThe 1820D, also used in the KamerMaker of DUS Architects (now Aectual), with our heated hose and print head. The KamerMaker printed the 3D Print Canal House in Amsterdam.
- 2020The 3DE 3008Our first extruder designed for 3D printing from the start, and still our best seller. Now also available water-cooled.
- 2021First boat printing lineAn ABB robot on a 13.7 m track, printing boats up to 12 m long.
- 2025The 3DE 2508A compact 3–5 kg/h extruder for cobots and small gantries.
- 2026The 3DE 2008Our smallest extruder, 0.5–0.8 kg/h, for cobots and fine detail.
