P3-d Expands High-Performance “Hercules” Product Line With Addition of Two New Nozzles

CLEVELAND – JULY 21, 2017 – Performance 3-d, a leading provider of high performance upgrade parts for 3D printers and rapid prototyping services, introduces the Airwolf AXIOM and Makergear V4 nozzles as part of its Hercules line. The addition of these products will allow P3-d to offer advanced printing capabilities to a wider variety of 3D printing enthusiasts.

Nozzles are a critical upgrade part for 3D printer consumers, as the standard brass nozzle equipped on most desktop 3D printers are easily eroded by modern filaments. Harsh materials wear down the nozzles, leading to inconsistencies, extruder jams, print failures, wasted time and often expensive material.

To address this problem, P3-d manufactures its Hercules series nozzles using heat treated A2 tool steel which has been hardened completely through for improved heat transfer. Both new nozzles are also specially coated with P3-d’s proprietary Duraplat3-d™ plating for high lubricity and maximum abrasion resistance. Based on testing, wear resistance is 25x to 100x more than a standard brass nozzle.

“As we grow, we are continually seeking ways to better serve our customers and take desktop 3D printing to the next level,” said Jay Evanovich, P3-d CEO and co-founder. “The expansion of our Hercules line means we now offer products for nearly 50 different printers.”

The Airwolf AXIOM nozzle is designed to fit the JR Hot End, JRx Hot End, Airwolf or AXIOM printer. The Makergear V4 nozzle is available in three sizes (0.4mm, 0.5mm or 0.6mm) and is compatible with the Makergear M2.

The nozzles are available for purchase now at www.p3-d.com.
