Based on the principle of additive manufacturing, 3D printing technology can get products quickly and efficiently by connecting 3D printers with computers. Fused deposition 3D printing process (FDM) is the most popular 3D printing technology at present. This technology is widely used because of its low equipment cost and material cost. However, this technology still has some disadvantages, such as high material cost, slow printing speed and unsuitable high-temperature materials.

Pellet melting 3D printing (FGF) uses standard plastic particles to extrude the molten materials by rotating and heating the vertical spiral rod. Multiple nozzles can be configured to work together. The molding size can be customized, and 30 kg of materials can be printed per hour. Standard materials such as PLA, PETG, ABS, PP, nylon and TPU can be used, fibers or copper powder can be added to form composites, biodegradable materials and recycled materials can also be used. Meet the final use requirements of large-scale sculpture, architecture, bathroom, automobile, aviation and other large parts.

Melt deposition process is the most widely used additive manufacturing technology in 3D printing industry. The traditional melt deposition process is to melt the filamentous hot-melt material and extrude it through a micro nozzle. Due to the limited efficiency of resistance heating, the flow of extruded material is very low, generally less than 0.1cm3/s, which reduces the forming efficiency and forming speed, making this rapid prototyping technology not suitable for the establishment of large and medium-sized parts; On the other hand, the use of thermoplastic wire as raw material limits the types of materials that can be used. For some plastics that are not easy to wire or have high hardness and are not easy to curl at room temperature, they are not suitable for this forming process.

In response to these shortcomings, piocreat 3D printer manufacturers have developed a new pellet 3D printer. The 3D printer adopts a screw extrusion device with particle feeding, which can solve the problems of low molding efficiency and slow molding speed of melt deposition molding 3D printer. Moreover, printing materials are not limited to hot-melt materials, which greatly broadens the scope of application in the industry. At present, we have been applied and verified in the fields of bathroom, footwear, automobile, sculpture, aviation and so on. It greatly shortens the product design cycle and saves the model production cost.

The emergence of pellet 3D printing marks a new step in the 3D printing industry. It has brought fresh nutrients to the industry and broadened the business scope. We believe there are more surprises waiting for us to discover and experience. For more information about 3D printing, please search and pay attention to yunshangzhizao.
