THE DIFFERENCE AT SCALE
Uses raw plastic granules (same material as injection molding feedstock) fed into a high-throughput extruder. The result: bigger build volumes, lower material cost, and access to engineering materials not available as filament.
- 1500×1000×1000 mm build volume
- Lower material cost vs filament
- Access to PEEK, PP, composite pellets
- Up to 5 kg/hr throughput
Uses pre-processed filament on a spool. Finer resolution, better surface finish, and easier to handle — ideal for small to medium parts where precision matters more than volume.
- 256×256×256 mm build volume
- Higher material cost per kg
- Wider range of specialty filaments
- Better XY resolution and surface
THREE QUALITY LEVELS
Fine layers for improved surface finish on large parts. Better aesthetics and mechanical isotropy.
Recommended for most large-format jobs. Good balance between print time and surface quality.
Coarse layers for structural checks, large-volume fit tests, and draft tooling.
6 PELLET MATERIALS
AVAILABLE
Most cost-effective large-format material. Chemical resistant, food-safe, and easy to print. Perfect for enclosures, jigs, and large prototypes.
UV-stable outdoor-grade material for large enclosures, architectural models, and anything exposed to sunlight.
Carbon-filled nylon for large structural parts — drone frames, automotive tooling, and aerospace ground support equipment.
Excellent chemical resistance and low density. Used for tanks, chemical containers, lab equipment, and living-hinge assemblies.
The highest-performance thermoplastic available. Continuous use to 250°C, biocompatible, and chemical-resistant. For the most demanding aerospace and medical large-format applications.
Flexible large-format printing for gaskets, bumpers, shock absorbers, and custom packaging inserts.
WHAT WE PRINT
Full-size electronic control cabinets, machinery guards, and equipment housings up to 1500×1000×1000 mm in one piece.
Checking fixtures, assembly jigs, and production aids — full-size automotive tooling without machining lead times.
Large-scale architectural and urban planning models printed in sections or as a single piece.
Large composite layup tools and mandrels in PEEK or Nylon CF — low thermal expansion, high heat resistance.
Low-volume large-format production parts at a fraction of the cost of injection molding or machining.
UV-stable ASA parts for marine hardware, signage, outdoor enclosures, and weathering-resistant components.
COMMON QUESTIONS
FDM uses filament on a spool; FGF uses raw plastic pellets fed into a high-torque extruder. FGF enables a much larger build volume, lower material cost, and access to materials like PEEK and PP that are difficult to process as filament.
Yes — our FGF system operates at up to 400°C nozzle temperature, enabling PEEK printing with a heated chamber. PEEK parts have continuous use temperatures above 250°C and are fully biocompatible.
FGF typically uses a 0.6–2.0 mm nozzle vs 0.4 mm for FDM, so layer lines are more visible. Surface finish is similar to FDM at 0.3 mm layers. For smooth surfaces, post-process with sanding or coating.
Our build volume is 1500 × 1000 × 1000 mm. Parts larger than this can be split, printed in sections, and bonded. Contact us to discuss multi-section assemblies.
Yes — PP is one of the most requested FGF materials. Its low surface energy makes it difficult on standard FDM printers, but our FGF system with adhesion management handles it reliably.
