A versatile dual-head food 3D printer designed for R&D, startups, and small-scale production.
The NEXUS Q2 is a versatile dual-head food 3D printer built for research, product development, and small-scale production with high precision and efficiency. Its dual-head system enables moderate material printing, making it ideal for startups, R&D labs, and innovative food manufacturing.
Food 3D printing uses layer-by-layer extrusion of edible materials – pastes, gels, powders, and semi-solid ingredients – to produce complex three-dimensional food structures with engineering-grade precision.
Our dual-head architecture allows simultaneous printing with two distinct materials, enabling multi-ingredient creations in a single uninterrupted process. The integrated cold-zone system maintains throughout the print chamber, enabling temperature-sensitive materials like cream, and meat pastes to hold form with complete structural integrity.
ADVANTAGES
Dual-head system for controlled multi-material printing
Easier setup and operation
Ideal for prototyping and small-batch production
Lower investment compared to advanced systems
Ideal for customized food, batter, paste, gel, dough, purees etc.
Six core engineering capabilities designed for precision, reliability, and versatility in professional food manufacturing and R&D environments.
Two independent nozzles enable simultaneous printing with different food materials. Create complex compositions in a single, uninterrupted operation cycle.
Supports dough, cheese, mashed vegetables, meat pastes, and more. The open material system accommodates virtually any semi-solid or paste-consistency edible substance.
Engineered for intricate detail and precise portioning. Deliver consistent output whether the application is artisan food design, clinical portion control, or high-volume manufacturing.
Intuitive 5" touchscreen control with preloaded templates and custom input workflows. Compatible with Cura, Reprap, and proprietary slicers across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Purpose-built slicing engine with per-extruder material profiles, independent speed and pressure parameters, and collision avoidance logic. Full compatibility with Cura, RepRap, and the Garuda Advanced Slicer.
Up to 8 Bar extrusion pressure handles dense, viscous food matrices without flow interruption. Ensures reliable, repeatable performance across materials with varying rheological properties.
Food 3D printing is compatible with a wide range of edible materials. The key requirement is suitable viscosity or cohesion to retain shape during layered deposition.
