VORMETRA G1000 · Large-Format Granule 3D Printer
A 1 m³ industrial 3D printer that prints directly from plastic granules instead of filament — bringing Dereli Plast's 30 years of extrusion know-how into additive manufacturing.
Problem
Filament is slow and expensive for large parts, and decades of extrusion expertise had not yet been applied to additive manufacturing.
Outcome
A platform that prints parts up to 1 m³ straight from granules at a fraction of filament material cost.
Scope
Parametric CAD generation (Python / CadQuery)
FEA-validated steel frame
Granule extrusion head
Motion and thermal control
Solution
Generated the frame parametrically and validated it with FEA
Adapted an extrusion screw to feed directly from granules
Kept cost down with off-the-shelf components
