Technology & Products
Key Products
DM series large-format FDM printers (DM8, DM12, DM16 with build volumes up to 1600mm); FGF pellet-based 3D printers (low-cost industrial mold market); Channel letter 3D printers; High-temperature industrial 3D printers; 3D printing filaments (PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon, ASA); OEM/ODM customized solutions
Technological Advantage
Features proprietary high-temperature nozzles (up to 420°C), advanced auto-leveling systems for massive print beds, and dual-drive extrusion technology that ensures stability and precision in prints exceeding one meter in size.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Delivers high-precision, industrial-grade additive manufacturing for oversized parts at a significantly lower cost-per-volume through advanced pellet extrusion and robust large-format hardware.
How They Differentiate
Specializes in ultra-large build volumes (up to 2.4 meters) and Fused Granular Fabrication (FGF) technology, which utilizes plastic pellets instead of filament to reduce material costs by up to 80%.
