Extruder (GregTech 5)/en

The Extruder is a machine from that shapes plastic materials and metals. A low voltage Extruder is suitable to work soft materials, like, and , but to work most metals, a medium voltage Extruder is required. Some harder metals, like and, even require an high voltage one.

The Extruder cannot be used without an Extruder Shape. The Shape an Extruder holds determines the type of item it will output.

Importantly, the Extruder is the only way to craft Plastic and Rubber components without losing materials. The Extruder also consumes substantially less energy than normal while working with Plastic and Rubber, and they are the only two materials a Basic Extruder can work with. Most metals require an Advanced Extruder, and certain metals even require an Advanced Extruder II.

Recipe
Like every electric machine in GregTech, the Extruder comes in 5 variants, one for each voltage from Low to Insane.
