VORMETRA G1000 · Large-Format Granule 3D Printer details

A 1 m³ industrial 3D printer designed to print directly from plastic granules instead of filament. In development; the figures given are design targets, not measured performance.

Problem

Filament feed and throughput constraints become more significant on large parts; the project explores adapting pellet extrusion to additive manufacturing.

Outcome

A design-stage platform targeting a 1 m³ build volume and direct pellet feed; measured print and cost performance is not yet available.

Scope

Parametric CAD generation (Python / CadQuery)
Steel frame design (stiffness validation planned)
Granule extrusion head
Motion and thermal control

Solution

Modelled the frame geometry with parametric CAD
Designed the extrusion head for pellet feed
Selected commercial components as design inputs

Technologies
