Less than two weeks ago, RAPID + TCT, the largest additive manufacturing event in North America, took place. The event was a unique opportunity for many companies to showcase their latest innovations and products to the 3D printing community. Among them is the multinational 3D Systems, which unveiled the latest addition to its extrusion portfolio: the EXT 800 Titan Pellet. With more compact hardware and a lower required initial investment, this system enables wider adoption of the EXT industrial platform in both new and existing markets. All those attending RAPID + TCT had the opportunity to see this new machine from 3D Systems, along with the company’s entire portfolio of solutions at its booth.
As you may already know, in 2022 3D Systems entered into an agreement to acquire Titan Robotics. Dedicated to the development of large-format industrial 3D printers with hybrid toolhead configurations, Titan Robotics had a variety of pellet extrusion-based machines. With this acquisition, 3D Systems expanded the strength and breadth of its portfolio of polymer 3D printing solutions to address applications in new markets. Now, two years after this acquisition, they presented the EXT 800 Titan Pellet at RAPID + TCT. We took a closer look at the characteristics and functionalities of this new machine.

Features of the EXT 800 Titan Pellet
With a build volume of 800 x 600 x 800 mm, the 3D printer uses the pellet extrusion technology developed by Titan Robotics. The company claims that this solution is up to 10 times faster than available filament systems using feedstocks up to 10 times less expensive, contributing to a faster return on investment (ROI). In addition, 3D Systems stresses that this 3D printer leverages all the benefits in terms of speed, reliability and efficiency of previous EXT Titan Pellet systems, but in a much more compact format and without the need for a high initial investment.
