I've only used single extruder machines. Does a dual extruder allow you to print twice as fast? Or is the only benefit a dual color model?

Mike Battaglia Hi Rolland,
The primary purpose of dual extruders is to print in two colors, 2 materials, or have the support material dissolvable.
Our dissolvable support profile is not ready yet but we've been printing in 2 colors with great success!
One possible way of making your prints faster with dual extrusion is to use a .6mm nozzle on one and a .4mm on the other. The .6mm can be set to do very thick infill layers which will save on time but it likely won't cut the time in half. We haven't tested this ourselves but it should work!
