The 3D printing speed is 5 to 15 kg per hour, the structure volume is 4 x 2 x 1.5 m, and the nozzle diameter is 4 to 8 mm: an amazing number that belongs to the new niche of the 3D printing market. The Piocreat G series uses "Fused Particle Manufacturing" (FGF), and we want to briefly explain how it works. FGF technology has a strong similarity with injection molding technology. We use pellets as a starting point to fully dry the material, and then use an extruder to process it into a liquid state. This image shows a schematic diagram of the FGF 3D printing process.This technology can handle a range of standard thermoplastics available. These thermoplastics are usually filled with filler materials, such as glass fibers. The addition of these fibers has several positive effects on the final mechanical properties. Another advantage of adding glass is that the product shrinks less and has better adhesion to the build platform during printing. This can prevent looseness and deformati...

Pellet extrusion is different from filament extruder. Pellet extruder uses screw method to melt pellet material from barrel and convey it through heated nozzle (die). Basically, the pellets are fed into the feeder inlet. They are then pushed through a barrel with multiple heating sections, where they are heated to soften. Once softened to the desired consistency, the screw mechanism generates enough pressure to eject the softened material through the nozzle onto the platform, creating a 3D print layer by layer. Compared with filament extrusion, the process is more complicated, but it does have several benefits.At present, as a well-known industrial-grade 3D printer manufacturer at home and abroad, Chuangxiang Sandi, the G5 particle 3D printer, which was launched some time ago, has attracted widespread attention as soon as it was launched. As a desktop industrial-grade 3D printer, G5 uses particle fusion technology, which is different from traditional wire fusion technology. G5 directl...
