3D Systems Titan Pellet 3D Printer

High-speed medium-to-large-format industrial pellet extrusion (FGF) 3D printers designed for lights-out reliability in production environments.

Industrial Additive Solutions

All EXT Titan printers are at home on the production floor, built with welded steel frames, industrial CNC controllers, servo-driven motion systems, actively heated chambers, and our proven high-throughput pellet extruders. Select systems may also be configured with filament extruders and milling spindle toolheads for true hybrid manufacturing.

Why 3D Print with Pellets?

Why pellets? The first reason is cost. Thermoplastic pellets are the raw form of most plastics used in industrial forming processes like injection molding and thus cost up to 10x less than traditional 3D printing filament feedstock. Overall, thermoplastic pellets are considered one of the lowest cost 3D printing feedstocks.

Printing directly with pellets also enables faster print speeds. Higher throughput is inherent in the pellet extrusion process. Couple that with large nozzle sizes and 3D Systems’ robust CNC motion control system, and print speeds can be 5X -10X faster with EXT Titan Pellet systems than traditional filament extrusion printing.

Finally, printing with pellets enables the use of a wide range of materials. There are 100’s of grades of thermoplastic pellets available for printing, including high-performance materials that are not available in filament form including high-percentage glass fiber and carbon fiber-filled plastics and low-shore TPE and TPU.
