What is Pellet 3D Printing?
Also known as fused Pellet modeling (FGM) or direct extrusion, printing with material in pellet form isn’t brand new, but it is experiencing a resurgence in popularity driven by the growing demand for larger 3D printers and interest in throwing less plastic waste into the environment. Not only can the printers we feature below print with economical industrial pellets but also almost any type of single-source plastic waste, once you chop it up.
Pellet additive manufacturing or pellet 3D printing, sometimes known as fused granulate fabrication (FGF), is a variant of fused deposition modeling (FDM, or FFF for fused filament fabrication) that uses pellets as feed stock instead of filament.
Although filament is suitable for most 3D printing applications, pellet 3D printing has carved out a niche in prototyping and large-format printing, where it can offer important advantages such as lower costs and faster builds.

FGF VS FDM 3d printer |
lower material cost
all matertial properties intact
faster printing speed
feed continuously
more suitable for printing large objects
3d printable from pellets and shredded recylceld plastic
|
Material cost is higher
the material will lose some of its original properties
less material malted in the same amount of time
can't suitable for printing small objects
cannot directly use recylced materialed for 3d printing

You can even purchase plastic waste, or recycled plastic pellets and shreds, in addition to almost any other kind of manufacturing plastic. In fact, available pellets range from PLA all the way to high-temperature, engineering-grade thermoplastics, such as reinforced Nylon and PEEK.
