3D printed pipe adapter 

Tailor-made solutions for efficient production processes

In the modern manufacturing industry, efficiency is the key to success. Companies are faced with the challenge of continuously optimising their production processes in order to remain competitive. 3D printing is becoming increasingly important due to its speed, flexibility and cost efficiency. By using 3D printed adapter cones, we have been able to optimise our internal production processes, saving time, costs and resources, which has led to a significant increase in the efficiency of production steps.

Perfect fit for a smooth industrial vacuum system

Adapter cones are used in industrial dust extraction systems to adapt different pipe diameters in suction and pressure lines. They can be used to enlarge small diameters to large diameters and to reduce large diameters. This is particularly useful when adapting accessories & peripherals, e.g. from third party manufacturers, whose diameters do not fit ex works.

They can be used to enlarge small diameters to large diameters and to reduce large diameters. This is particularly useful when adapting accessories & peripherals, e.g. from third party manufacturers, whose diameters do not fit ex works.

In the past, adapting different pipe adapter diameters was done using tape and manual deformation. Not only does this involve manual effort and handling, but it does not meet the quality standards required in demanding production environments.

3D printing, on the other hand, with its high degree of design freedom, allows the geometry to be flexibly adapted so that the adapter can be adapted to different pipes. This allows different components to be seamlessly integrated. With its high degree of design freedom, 3D printing can provide a customised, seamless solution in a reliable and resource-efficient manner.


Precisely fitting materials: TECAFIL for optimised production solutions

In addition to customisation to the individual pipe adapter diameters, material-specific criteria also play an important role in production. The 3D printed adapter cones must be able to withstand high mechanical and chemical loads and at the same time be light and easy to manufacture and install. With our extensive portfolio of high-performance and engineering filaments from our own production, we can tailor the materials used precisely to the required criteria.

Our pipe adapter cone is made of TECAFIL PA6 GF30 black. This innovative material offers a wide range of applications and is characterised by its robustness and reliability. PA6 GF30 can be printed on low-cost engineering printers such as the Ultimaker or similar models. TECAFIL PA6 GF30 black thus offers an ideal combination of strength, reliability and processability for efficient and reliable adapter cones in industrial applications.
