Large Format FGF 3D Printing Technology

Kings FGF1800 3D Printer

Brand: Kings3D

Max. printing size: 71x51x51 in

Materials: Plastic Pellets

Fused Granular Fabrication (FGF) 3D printing is an innovative large format 3D printing process that extrudes granulated thermoplastics to create large-scale parts with exceptional speed, cost efficiency, and material versatility.

Here's a breakdown of the FGF process:

MATERIAL FEEDING:

The process begins with granulated thermoplastic material, which is loaded into the printer’s feeding system. This material is typically in the form of small pellets, making it cost-effective and readily available.

EXTRUSION:

Inside the printer, the granules are heated until they melt, creating a viscous material. This molten plastic is then pushed through a nozzle and deposited layer by layer in precise patterns to gradually build the 3D object.

COOLING AND FINISHING:

Once the object is printed, it begins to cool and solidify. Depending on the desired quality and use case, additional post-processing steps such as sanding, polishing, or coating can be applied to refine the surface or enhance the part’s strength and durability.

FGF 3D printing combines efficiency and flexibility, making it an ideal large format 3D printing solution for industries requiring large-scale, durable parts without compromising on speed or cost.
