Diamond nozzle DIANOZ 3D

Most 3D printing nozzles suffer from rapid wear or poor heat conduction, affecting print quality and efficiency. Worn tips cause surface irregularities and poor prints, requiring time-consuming adjustments to compensate. Replacing worn nozzles can halt printing, altering parameters and compromising quality. Heat-insulating nozzles decrease reliability, causing rough surfaces and inaccurate temperature control. Compensating for insulation increases energy consumption by up to 15%.

The Dianoz nozzle from Dianoz 3D (Gühring) emerges as a solution tailored precisely to overcome these challenges. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Dianoz nozzle features well thought through geometry and a synthetic black diamond tip. This design helps achieve ultra-high wear resistance, very high thermal conductivity and a high heat resistance of up to 550 ºC. The anatomy of the Dianoz nozzle will be explained in detail below.

The nozzle

The Dianoz nozzle guarantees consistent material extrusion and smooths part surface with its advanced ironing surface, providing exceptional wear resistance even with highly abrasive filaments. Its intricate geometry and synthetic black diamond tip ensure maximum durability and performance, positioning Dianoz as a revolutionary advancement in FFF technology.

According to tests conducted at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation, the inclusion of a diamond insert in the Dianoz nozzle ensures nearly identical extrusion stability as brass nozzles, with the added benefit of superior abrasion resistance. The Dianoz nozzle proves to be about 4 times more thermally conductive than brass.

In comparison to alternative wear-resistant nozzles like ruby ones, the Dianoz nozzle is about 3 times harder and demonstrates more consistent extrusion performance across broader temperature and extrusion speed ranges (up to 550 ºC).

Equipment and material compatibility

With a range of variants available, the Dianoz nozzle ensures compatibility with diverse 3D printers and caters to various printing requirements, guaranteeing a seamless printing experience and superior print outcomes. The available options are resumed in the table below. Thanks to the availability of diameters as small as 0.2 mm and as big as 1.0 mm, the user can 3D print both small and highly detailed models and manufacture big parts or batches in a short time.

The general rule of thumb for determining the ideal layer height is as follows: the minimum layer thickness = 0.25 * nozzle diameter, and the maximum layer thickness = 0.75 * nozzle diameter. Depending on the system which they were designed for, the nozzle variants have different dimensions and the user must ensure to purchase the right nozzle type to ensure compatibility with their 3D printer.

Compatible with a wide range of materials, the Dianoz nozzle is suitable for glass fiber-filled, and carbon fiber-filled filaments, as well as ceramic-filled and metal-filled and high-temperature filaments such as PEEK, PEI, and PEKK thanks to its maximum temperature resistance of up to 550 ºC. The Dianoz nozzle also works seamlessly with standard plastics like ABS, PETG, PLA, and TPE, offering versatility for various 3D printing applications. Some other materials that the Dianoz nozzle can work with are ASA, CPE, HDPE, HIPS, LDPE, PA, PBT, PC, PC-ABS, PCL, PCTG, PMMA, POM, PP, PPSU, PS, PVA, PVDF, and more.
