Reservoir Heads is how we print (also known as Direct Ink Writing or Robocasting) with fluid or emulsified (non-filament-based) materials which are deposited at, above, or below room temperature, with or without UV Crosslinking. | |||
== Nordson and ViscoTec Heads == | |||
[[File:Nordson_viscotec_vipro_medium.jpg|left|200px|caption]] Some customers have requested that we configure our equipment in such a way that heads from other companies like the [https://www.nordson.com/en/divisions/efd/products/fluid-dispensing-systems/ultimus-v-high-precision-dispenser '''Nordson Ultimus V heads'''] or one of the [https://www.viscotec.de/en/products/3d-print-heads/ '''Viscotec Vipro heads''']. | |||
Yes, Hyrel equipment can accommodate these and other print heads with just a little custom code and a special tool holder. Please contact us if you have any questions at all. | |||

Some settings for the EMO-Type heads (like temperature, prime/unprime values) will vary, depending on what material you are printing with. Nozzle diameter should accurately reflect what nozzle you have loaded (1.6mm is default) AND what path width you sliced for. Temperature commands will be ignored by heads with no temperature control. Having said that, below are our default shipping settings: | |||

Reservoir Heads is how we print (also known as Direct Ink Writing or Robocasting) with fluid or emulsified (non-filament-based) materials which are deposited at, above, or below room temperature, with or without UV Crosslinking.
Nordson and ViscoTec Heads
Some customers have requested that we configure our equipment in such a way that heads from other companies like the Nordson Ultimus V heads or one of the Viscotec Vipro heads.
Yes, Hyrel equipment can accommodate these and other print heads with just a little custom code and a special tool holder. Please contact us if you have any questions at all.

Materials for Reservoir Heads
Reservoir Heads heads are for printing as follows:
- With pastes, gels, emulsifiables or waxes.
- At room or elevated temperatures.
- With or without UV Crosslining.
- With Hyrel Nozzles (1.5mm, 2mm) or Luer Tips.
The following materials can be printed from Cold Flow heads. Note that more viscous materials may not be suitable for plastic syringes or smaller luer tips.
- 3P Quick Cure Clay
- Adhesives
- Clay, Generic
- Epoxy, Two-part
- Fimo
- Glue
- Kato
- Metal Clay, including Precious Metal Clay (PMC)
- Modeling Clay
- PEG PolyEthylene Glycol
- Porcelain
- Plasticine
- Play-Doh
- Resins
- RTV Silicone
- Sculpey
- Sugru
The following materials can be printed from Warm Flow heads. Note that more viscous materials may not be suitable for plastic syringes or smaller luer tips, or may print more easily at higher temperatures.
Reservoir Heads
Ambient or sub-ambient deposition is available through the following Reservoir-based heads:
Heated deposition is available through the following Reservoir-based heads:
- Overview of the EMO Heads
- Overview of the SDS Heads
- Overview of the VOL Heads
- Overview of the KRA Heads
- Overview of the SMH-2 Head
- Please see our Manuals as well.
Temperature > | 20°C < Ambient | Ambient | Up to 50°C | Up to 90°C | Up to 180°C | Up to 270°C |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Crosslinking Optional |
RSD-30 | EMO-25 SDS-5, -10, SDS-30, -60 SMH-2 |
HSD-30 | HSD-10 VOL-25 |
KRA-15 KR2-15 |
TAM-15 |
Note, RSD-30 will take you about 20C below ambient.
So, what do these goofy designations actually stand for?
- EMO: Emulsifiables at Room Temperature - Low to Medium Viscosity
- COD: Emulsifiables T Room Temperature with Crosslink On Demand - Low to Medium Viscosity
- VOL: Volcano: Heated (up to 100°C) Emulsifiables - Low to Medium Viscosity
- KR2: Krakatoa v2: a more robust KRA head with a double gasketed plunger hotter, more viscous Emulsifiables - Very High Viscosity
- TAM: Tambora: Heated (up to 270°C) Emulsifiables - High Viscosity
- SDS: Syringe Dispensing System (uses disposable plastic syringes at room temperature) - Low Viscosity
- HSD: Heated (formerly Volcanic) Syringe Dispensing System - Low to Medium Viscosity
- RSD: Refrigerated Syringe Dispensing System - Low to Medium Viscosity
- DSD: Dual Syringe Dispenser, dispensing two-part mixtures at a fixed ratio - Low to Medium Viscosity
- SMH: Static Mixing Head, blending your ratio of material through a baffled nozzle - Low to Medium Viscosity

Settings for Reservoir Heads
All printers and heads shipping after 1 Jan 2020 have shipped with some release of version 4, and these values are shown below.
Older settings are listed here.
Some settings for the EMO-Type heads (like temperature, prime/unprime values) will vary, depending on what material you are printing with. Nozzle diameter should accurately reflect what nozzle you have loaded (1.6mm is default) AND what path width you sliced for. Temperature commands will be ignored by heads with no temperature control. Having said that, below are our default shipping settings:
