Abstract: Calibration method for machines for the production of segmented extruded products comprising the steps of: activating an extrusion process according to a plurality of operating parameters suitable for producing a segmented extruded product having at least one segmentation portion (6); injecting a marker at the segmentation portion (6) during its extrusion; detecting a plurality of characterizing parameters of the marker and/or of the segmentation portion (6), by selecting at least one of spatial distribution of the segmentation portion (6) and axial and/or radial position of the segmentation portion (6); selecting at least one operating parameter according to at least one of the detected characterizing parameters, so as to modify spatial distributions and/or axial and/or radial positions of the segmentation portion (6).

Abstract: An extrusion device comprises at least one supply station suitable for containing a material to be extruded; a plurality of propellers operatively connected to at least one supply station for receiving the material to be extruded and at least one extrusion head connected to at least one propeller. Each propeller can also be selectively activated to modulate an extrusion speed and/or a quantity of material to be extruded as an output from the extrusion head.

Abstract: A method for the production of filaments (A) capable of being thermoregulated includes the steps of: —feeding a material to be extruded and a pair of wires (B) in electrically conductive material to an extrusion head (1); —extruding the material to be extruded and, at the same time, promoting the escape of the pair of wires (B) from the extrusion head (1) in such a way that the material to be extruded winds the pair of wires (B); —during the extrusion, generating at least a coupling portion (Y) of the filament (A), wherein the pair of wires (B) is electrically connected.

Abstract: The extruder screw comprises a screw body (2) coated by an external functionalization coating (4), and also at least partially coated by a wear detection-quantification coating (5) arranged between the external surface (3) of the screw body (2) and the external functionalization coating (4), and detectable with respect to the external functionalization coating (4).

Abstract: A system for additive manufacturing processes includes an anthropomorphic robot, an extruder mounted on the robot, sensors for detecting a plurality of parameters related to an additive manufacturing process, means for regulating the state of a material extruded from the extruder and a control unit configured to control an extruder path; the control unit is configured to determine the extruder path and/or the deposition strategies of the material according to at least two parameters detected by the sensors.

Abstract: A method of collection and preservation of a fluid and/or a material comprises a step of determining a sampling volume that is closed and/or separated from the external environment, a step of taking a predetermined amount of fluid and/or material from the sampling volume and a step of confining the fluid and/or material into a collection volume; the step of taking the fluid and/or material and the step of confining the fluid and/or material are simultaneous with each other and contemporaneous with a step of maintaining the hydraulic and/or pneumatic and/or microbiological isolation between the sampling volume and the collection volume.
