- The Tungsten Carbide Nozzle Offers a Balance Between Wear Resistance and High Performance (3dprint.com)
March 9, 2018
New nozzle made from tungsten carbide can handle the abrasion if you are printing with hard plastics which are reinforcement with fibers such as carbon and glass. FYI... The cutting tools in some CNC's are made from tungsten carbide.
Why does it matter? If you are using an Ultimaker, Raise3D, Prusa, Makerbot, Robo, LulzBot, Flashforge, etc and need to print in reinforcement materials.
Why does it not matter? You are printing with ABS and PLA and may not need to print in reinforcement materials. Also, this is a Kickstarter 3d printer-related project...which are notorious late for product delivery. Their estimated date of arrival is September 2018 - we predict deliveries to occur after January 2019.

January 24, 2018
BRAVO!!! Iro3D's Simple 3D doesn’t use an extruder or a hot end but uses “pourers” and metal powders with a crucible. This is pretty cool! We would love to see some material strength testing on the final parts, such as impact, density, and tensile strenght per ASTM standards!
