Development of an innovative nozzle for 3D printing of fiber-reinforced materials

Conceptual sketch of fiber-reinforced 3D printing (OQuPar research project)

The aim of this research and development project is to develop a new nozzle for 3D printing that can process fiber-reinforced materials more efficiently.


As part of the OQuPar project, we are working on optimizing processing technology to improve the production of technical components with high mechanical requirements.


The use of new technologies aims to improve the processing quality of plastics with higher fiber content and longer fibers. The innovative nozzle is being developed to minimize previous challenges such as clogging and inaccurate material application, while enabling precise and resource-efficient production.

Fiber-reinforced 3D printing

The OQuPar project is specifically designed to meet industry requirements and optimize the use of 3D printing technologies for fiber-reinforced materials. We invite industrial companies to actively participate in our project and share their specific requirements and challenges. Their expertise will help us precisely align research with the practical needs of industry.
