  • Many Prosthetic Limb Replacements Result From Dangerous Regional Conflicts 

     

    GAINESVILLE, Fla; May X, 2024 – Slice Engineering, specializing in the design and manufacture of high-quality industrial 3D printer components, today honored non-profit Hand-in-Hand for the organization’s exceptional work providing no-cost, 3D printed prosthesis to those who can’t afford it, including many children. 

    “Hand-in-Hand exemplifies the significant, positive impact that our industry can have on the lives of people around the world,” said Dan Barousse, CEO, Slice Engineering. “It’s heartening to see these important humanitarian goals fulfilled in such a meaningful way.” 

    Hand-in-Hand, located in Egypt, was founded by Mohamed Hatab, who was largely motivated to help others as a result of his childhood cancer battle. It’s become his driving passion in life to do so through Hand-in-Hand. 

    Slice Engineering is proud to support Hand-in-Hand’s efforts to improve the world one life at a time. The company’s technology benefited the organization by increasing Hand-in-Hand’s 3D printing productivity by more than five-fold. The company is proud to provide the most critical component to enable repeatable and fast production of prosthetics to serve patients.  

    Slice also pointed out that SMBs in the U.S., across multiple industries, are making a global impact. The advent of 3D printing is allowing small teams to accomplish big things.

  • GammaMaster® Nozzle
    The GammaMaster® Nozzle is the next evolution in nozzle technology, designed for abrasive filament printing that doesn't sacrifice thermal conductivity.
    ...

  • Thermal Performance

    Crafted from a proprietary hardened alloy, the GammaMaster Nozzle features thermal performance similar to that of a standard brass nozzle while maintaining its abrasive-resistant qualities. GammaMaster is 2.7 times more thermally conductive when compared to hardened steel nozzles, meaning you no longer have to raise your nozzle temperature to print with abrasive filaments.

    Abrasion Resistant

    With a Limited Lifetime Warranty against abrasive wear, the GammaMaster Nozzle will print the entire gamut of thermoplastic materials. From basic PLA to glass fiber reinforced PEI, the GammaMaster Nozzle excels at printing abrasive filaments with a Rockwell C hardness level of 6

    Anti-Adhesive Surface

    GammaMaster features our new Low Gamma™ coating that reduces the nozzle’s surface energy and prevents plastic accumulation around the nozzle's tip. With a measured surface energy of <30 dynes/cm, the Low Gamma coating allows for easier cleanup, fewer failed prints, and a better printing experience. Unlike PTFE-based coatings, GammaMaster’s surface is rated to high printing temperatures*, allowing you to reap the non-stick benefits with virtually any material.

    Multiple Geometries

    GammaMaster is available in three geometries: RepRap, AP3X, and Vase. Our RepRap geometry is the default nozzle geometry you're used to. AP3X adds 2 mm of tip length, making it ideal for belt printing and non-planar printing applications. Our Vase geometry is designed for vase mode prints with large layer lines—perfect for printed prosthetics, film props, and other large-scale prints.

    Best Warranty In The Business

    We are proud to offer a Limited Lifetime Warranty against abrasive wear for the GammaMaster Nozzle. Please note, certain exotic filaments, like Glow-in-the-Dark and Tungsten Carbide filled, are not covered under this warranty.

    Additional Features And Benefits

    • *Low Gamma coating rated to 380°C, nozzle substrate rated to 500°C
    • Engraved orifice size on three sides for easy nozzle identification
    • Compatible with common metric (6 mm) and standard (1/4 in) socket tools for straightforward installation
    • RepRap style, M6 x 1.0 threads with a 7 mm thread length (12.5 mm overall length for RepRap geometry and 14.5 mm overall length for AP3X)
    • 100% Made in the USA
  • Mosquito® Prime™
    Mosquito® Prime™ is the world's highest volumetric flow rate hotend. Featuring advanced thermal engineering, structural rigidity, and US-based support, Mosquito Prime delivers precise and consistent high-flow extrusion, ensuring high-quality prints....

  • Fast And Consistent Extrusion

    Mosquito Prime sports a lengthy 61 mm melt zone where filament directly contacts the hot block, allowing for better heat transfer and consistent temperature distribution. Enabled by a unique dual heater configuration of 150 W, Prime melts filament fast for a maximum volumetric flow rate of up to 116 mm3/s, (516 g/hr), with PLA and 64 mm3/s, (280 g/hr) with TPU.

    Internal Die For Smooth Flow

    The flow-splitting die within Mosquito Prime's hot block divides the molten plastic into three streams, enabling a steady and consistent flow rate that guarantees a fast and efficient printing experience. By encouraging laminar flow and minimizing internal turbulence, the flow-splitting die enhances extrusion efficiency and delivers high-quality prints with every use.

    Building On Mosquito’s Legacy

    As an extension of the Mosquito line of hotends, Mosquito Prime features a copper alloy hot block rated to 500°C for ultimate material compatibility and a rigid "roll cage" design for enhanced durability. The Mosquito’s signature Bimetallic Heat Break™ ensures efficient thermal isolation of the cold block to prevent filament clogging.

    Additional Features And Benefits

    • Supports up to 3 temperature sensors, one for each temperature zone and a third for redundancy and safety
    • Compatible with RepRap style nozzles (M6 x 1.0 threads with a 7 mm thread length)
    • Choose from air, liquid, or conduction-based cooling options to select the best cooling method for your printing environment.

    • Compatible with the Mosquito Magnum+ Convection Shield
    • 100% Made in the USA

  • Mosquito Magnum+
    Mosquito Magnum+® is a high-performance hotend for 3D printers that can easily handle high-flow and high-temperature printing. Magnum+ features an extended melt zone for faster printing speeds and a high flow rate capacity....

  • Thermally Optimized Design

    The Magnum+ hot block's long melt zone is designed for faster printing speeds and high flow rate capacity. Filament directly contacts the hot block for maximum heat transfer efficiency. Additionally, the improved structural strength and tapered shape of Magnum+ make it an ideal choice for large format and non-planar printing without adding significant weight.

    Unparalleled Performance

    With a high-temperature, all-metal design, optimized melt zone geometry, and efficient cooling options, Magnum+ delivers unparalleled performance, enabling you to produce high-quality prints at impressive speeds. With the ability to print PLA up to 88 mm3/s and ABS up to 91 mm3/s, Magnum+ allows you to print faster without compromising quality.
