Purging or Cleaning Stations (for Multi-material or Multi-color Setups)
Share This Post
Purging or cleaning stations are additional setups in 3D printers used in multi-material or multi-color printing to clean the nozzles between filament changes. The station provides a dedicated area where excess material is extruded to prevent mixing colors or materials during a print job. It also includes tools or systems to clean the nozzle thoroughly, ensuring a clean start when switching materials or colors.
