Pellet 3D printing for large-format production and R&D
The MAMA-1700 is a large-format FGF 3D printer that prints primarily with plastic granulates instead of filament. It is built for fast R&D iterations and production-grade parts, with a print volume of 1.7 x 1.0 x 1.0 metres and a dual setup that also includes the Griffin Ultra filament print head.
Key features and benefits
- Pellet-based printing: Uses plastic granulates, which lowers material costs to just a few dollars per kilogram and expands material options.
- Dual printing capability: Includes the Griffin Ultra filament print head for detailed filament parts and alternate workflows.
- High-throughput extrusion: The pellet print head uses the Dyze Design Pulsar with a flow rate of 500 mm³/s and up to 3 KG/hour.
- Filament output: The Griffin Ultra filament print head delivers 160 mm³/s and up to 500 gram/hour.
- Material range: Supports PLA, ABS, TPE, TPU, PVA, HIPS, PC, PETG, Nylon (PA), glass- and carbon-fibre filled materials, and recycled options.
- Production-focused reliability: Pellet runout and extrusion clog detection help the printer pause for operator service when needed.
- Installation flexibility: Offered as a self-assembly kit, which suits locations with narrow doors or basement workshops.
Use cases for large-format pellet and filament printing
The MAMA-1700 suits manufacturers, design studios, innovators, researchers, and businesses that need large parts, faster iteration, or lower material costs. Example applications shown with the printer include moulds, composite parts, furniture and decor, signage, and a tall bookshelf printed with PLA pellets.
- Moulds and tooling: Supports large moulds printed with wood-filled pellet material.
- Composite parts: Prints strong, rigid parts using PETG CF and PETG GF.
- Furniture and decor: Handles recycled plastic decoration and furniture with pigment effects.
- Signage and large displays: Produces large letters, logos, and symbols for public installations.
- Large architectural or functional pieces: The 1.7 metre build height supports oversized printed objects.
