• Print Faster

    The EXT 1270's pellet extrusion technology prints up to 10X faster than traditional filament extrusion 3D printing with deposition rates as high as 30lbs (13.6kg) per hour.

  • Lower Your Costs

    Utilizing pellet feedstocks means the EXT 1270 can reduce material costs by up to 10X. Lights-out manufacturing and the option for in situ milling help cut labor costs.

  • Reliable Production

    With a built volume of 1270mm x 1270 mm x 1829mm (50" x 50" x 72") the EXT 1270 can print most large parts in one piece, eliminating the need for gluing. 

This large-format 3D printer features a single pellet extruder as standard, but can be customized with up to three toolheads, including a second pellet extruder, a filament extruder, and a 3-axis milling spindle. The EXT 1270 is an ideal solution for manufacturing large-scale parts, ranging from tooling and patterns to end-use products.

Built for Production

The EXT 1270 Titan Pellet is purpose-built for production additive manufacturing, capable of producing functional, high-performance parts in industries such as foundry, automotive, aerospace and defense, and consumer products.

Featuring a welded steel frame and an industrial actively heated enclosure, the EXT 1270 is production-ready and can be upgraded with a second pellet extruder, filament printing capability, and/or CNC milling functionality either at the time of purchase or later on.

Whether you need patterns, molds, tooling, jigs, fixtures, end-use parts or full-scale prototypes, the EXT 1270 is a proven production solution.

Pellet Extrusion on the EXT 1270

The EXT 1270 is proven with a wide variety of pellet materials, ranging from commodity feedstocks to high-temperature, high-performance materials such as CF-PEI, GF-PEKK, Nylons and Polycarbonate. Pellet extrusion also enables the use of highly flexible elastomers and high-percentage glass and carbon-filled materials that are difficult, or impossible, to print from filament all while reducing material costs up to 10X and delivering 10X higher deposition rates.
