download PDFAbstract. This scientific study brings new insights into the field of optimization of parameters in the extrusion of filaments from biodegradable materials. Extrusion is a production process in which metal or plastic materials are pushed through a rigid cross-sectional profile or matrix to form a continuous strip of shaped product (filament). The extrusion process begins by bringing the material in the form of granules, pellets or powders from the hopper to the extruder zone. One of the chapters contains a detailed description of the extrusion of filaments and optimization of parameters. Optimization of parameters consists of real designs and devices designed by the authors of this publication themselves. This study has a significant contribution in the field of material extrusion.
