BIGFoot Pro Pellets: The Evolution of 3D Printing

On November 18, TUMAKER presented a new 3D printer. This time, the launch was on a large scale, quite literally. This new 3D printer prints with pellets and does so at a large scale, reaching print volumes of up to 480 × 440 × 500 mm.

We all know the importance that additive manufacturing is gaining in industry today. However, there are still relatively few companies firmly committed to incorporating 3D printers into their manufacturing processes.

One of the main drawbacks companies cite for not adopting this technology is the limited range of materials available for 3D printing. But pellets could change that. And many of you may be wondering, what are pellets? Pellets, also known as granules, are the original form of plastic. A format commonly used in plastic injection moulding and from which all filaments are manufactured.

Thanks to the exclusive extrusion system of the new BIGFoot Pro Pellets, we can print materials at a large scale without requiring those materials to be available in filament form. This provides major advantages for the use of 3D printing in industry.

The Only Multi-Material 3D Printer on the Market

When we use 3D printing, we are accustomed to analysing the filaments available on the market to determine which filament most closely resembles the material we normally use in production. But this is going to change; in fact, it already has.

With the new BIGFoot Pro Pellets, you can use your own material. The same material you use in plastic injection moulding processes.

You can break through the barriers of the 3D printing market and use materials in our printer such as Ultem, PEEK, Polypropylene (PP), among many others that we list at the end of this article*.

With the BIGFoot Pro Pellets 3D printer, we can use certified and approved materials for specific sectors or applications, as well as recycled materials. In addition, one of the advantages of this 3D printer is that pellets or granules are always cheaper than filament, as we print using the original raw material.

This has led many companies to see pellet 3D printing as a safe choice for productivity, quality and the possibilities it offers.

Without a doubt, 3D printing with granules represents an evolution in the plastics industry and an innovation in the market.

Why Choose This Printer?

Choosing this 3D printer is very simple, as it is the only professional pellet printer on the market. You won’t find anything else like it!

You can print with the material of your choice, including materials that you will not find in filament form, with operating temperatures of up to 350 °C. With the 32-bit processor, you ensure printing stability and, most importantly, increase speed.

In addition, the movements of this 3D printer are ultra-quiet thanks to the innovative TMC2660 drivers.

There are other simple reasons: it offers comprehensive connectivity, its prints are reliable and high-quality and, finally, it increases your productivity. You can also choose the print volume that best suits your needs:

• 480 × 440 × 500 mm

• 480 × 440 × 350 mm

• 480 × 440 × 200 mm
