3D Systems Introduces EXT 800 Titan Pellet

3D Systems' latest addition to its portfolio of EXT Titan Pellet systems is the EXT 800 Titan Pellet. With a build volume of 800x600x800 mm, this new pellet extrusion system harnesses the speed and efficiency of the Company’s large-format EXT Titan Pellet systems (EXT 1070 Titan Pellet and EXT 1270 Titan Pellet) in a more compact format with lower upfront investment, the company says.

Manufacturers can apply the production-ready EXT 800 Titan Pellet to fabricate more modestly sized functional prototypes, tooling, fixtures, sand casting patterns, thermoforming molds, and end-use parts, according to 3D Systems. The EXT 800 Titan Pellet is designed to cost-effectively address applications in markets including foundries, aerospace & defense, thermoforming, prosthetics & footwear and research. 

“With the addition of the EXT 800 Titan Pellet to our industry-leading family of pellet extrusion systems, we are able to bring this technology to a broader set of manufacturers to enhance their products and innovation,” says Rahul Kasat, vice president, Titan, 3D Systems. “For manufacturers seeking speed and sustainability, our EXT Titan Pellet systems are a game-changer.

"They combine high-speed printing with cost-effective pellets, making the technology ideal for a wide range of applications," Kasat adds. "We believe the combination of high-speed, high-quality printing with a smaller footprint and lower upfront investment cost will make the EXT 800 Titan Pellet an attractive solution for a variety of industrial applications.”

The EXT 800 Titan Pellet has a single extrusion tool head and refined industrial design made for a range of manufacturing environments including offices, labs, and universities, and larger shop floors. The compact frame enables the printer to fit through a standard set of double doors. The system also includes a large, front-mounted touchscreen. 

Along with these new system features for the EXT 800 Titan Pellet, customers who integrate this pellet extrusion system into their manufacturing environment will also be able to take advantage of the same performance features of 3D Systems’ larger pellet extrusion printers—EXT 1070 Titan Pellet and EXT 1270 Titan Pellet. There are industrial CNC controllers for applications, heated bed and chamber for part accuracy, and the company’s pellet extrusion hardware and materials. Additionally, active bed and chamber heating allows the use of glass and carbon-filled high-temperature engineering materials such as ABS, PC, Nylons, PEI, and PEKK as well as flexible TPE and TPU.

The EXT 800 Titan Pellet is available for immediate ordering with delivery of the first printers anticipated for the third quarter of 2024.

3D Systems will showcase the EXT 800 Titan Pellet alongside the Company’s full solution portfolio in its booth (#2401) at RAPID+TCT event in Los Angeles.
