Collection: FGF: Fused Granule Fabrication

  • Engineering and Manufacturing

    Well-suited for producing large-scale functional parts quickly, using durable thermoplastics. Manufacturing tools, jigs, fixtures, and custom machinery parts.

  • Aerospace and Aviation

    Ideal for producing large, complex, and lightweight structural components that require high strength and thermal resistance. Aircraft parts, engine components, and support structures.

  • Consumer Goods Manufacturing

    Suitable for producing durable consumer products with a high level of customization. Product design prototypes, functional parts for consumer goods, and custom packaging.

  • Educational and Research

    Provides a platform for research in material science, engineering, and additive manufacturing, allowing students to explore the production of functional parts. Engineering and materials research, custom educational tools, and design validation.

  • Industrial Prototyping and Low-Volume Production

    Enables rapid prototyping of industrial parts with high material strength and thermal resistance, ideal for testing and small production runs. Prototypes, production aids, and custom low-volume parts

  • Robotics and Automation

    FGF is used for producing large, custom robot parts that need high mechanical properties for movement and durability. Robotic arms, mechanical parts, and automation tools.

Material: Pellets

The type of material dictates the mechanical properties of the printed object, the material needs to be carefully chosen based on the field of work and desired outcome

What is the difference between FGF and other FFF?

FFF: Fused Deposition Modelling, uses filament as 3D printing material

FGF: Fused Granule Fabrication, uses granules instead of filament as 3D printing material

What do I need to print with an FGF 3D Printer?

Other than the SLA 3D Printer, you will need the following:

  • Pellet Dryer: if the FGF 3D Printer wasn't equipped with an embedded pellet drying module, it is highly advised (even required) to acquire a separate pellet dryer
  • Computer (Slicing Software): to slice the 3D model and prepare for printing (NOT Included with your purchase)

Can I use different types/ brands of pellets?

Theoretically yes, however, this will require confirming that the material can be molten and extruded through the hotend, and that it won't cause issues or jams in the extruding chamber

We strongly advise you to use Ateco's pellets, otherwise proceed at your own risk
