Pellet economy

Pellets start from 4 €/kg, so large parts cost less to print and pay the machine back faster.

Pellet vs filament

Every kilo pays it back.

Pellets cost a fraction of filament, so every part you print brings the G1 closer to paying for itself. Move the slider to the weight of your part and see what you save in material and time.

Test print

See the result before you invest.

We print your model on the G1, in your chosen material. You evaluate surface quality, layer adhesion, dimensional stability and cost per part. No commitments.

Questions, answered

Can it handle fibre-reinforced materials?

Yes. Nozzle, screw and barrel are in hardened steel, built for carbon- and glass-fibre compounds.

Do pellets require pre-drying?

Yes, for most materials. Many polymers absorb moisture from the air, which affects extrusion, surface quality and strength. The complete G1 system includes a pellet dryer with automatic feeding.

How long is the setup time?

You can assemble the G1 yourself with our documentation, videos and remote support. An optional 2-day on-site Installation Workshop is available.

How precise is pellet printing?

Tolerances from 0.2 mm are achievable, depending on nozzle and geometry. For critical parts we recommend a test print.

What is the warranty?

One year standard warranty for EU B2B customers. Consumable and wear parts follow separate conditions.
