Albert Einstein once said, “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”

Additive Manufacturing continues to push boundaries and expand capabilities. Imagine the ability to print large, durable parts faster, with less waste, and at a lower cost for industries ranging from automotive to aerospace to architecture & design. Sounds exciting and intriguing, right? Well, it is! Now, we at Forward AM are leveraging our expertise as a material leader with Ultrafuse® filaments, bringing you the best in pellet technology.
This emerging technology is set to revolutionize large-scale additive manufacturing (LSAM). And the team of experts at Forward AM is tapping into this potential with our Ultrafuse® Pellets, offering scalable and sustainable solutions that can help businesses unlock new opportunities.
The Path Starts Here…
Let’s take a quick journey together as Forward AM leads the way into the world of pellet printing and learn what makes this technology such a game-changer and why it could be a perfect fit for your business.
First, let us introduce Dr. Tobias Rödlmeier, Product & Application Technology Manager who will be joining us as we explore all that pellet printing has to offer.
“After several years of academic experience in additive manufacturing, I joined Forward AM in 2018. As a Product & Application Technology Manager, I focus on Forward AM’s pellet applications, delivering innovative solutions to our partners.”

Our journey into the world of pellets begins with…What is Pellet Printing?
If you’re familiar with traditional filament-based 3D printing, think of pellet printing as its bigger, faster cousin. Instead of using spools of filament, pellet printers use tiny granules of plastic (which we call pellets) as the material using FGF (Fused Granular Fusion) technology. This means faster print times, lower costs, and more options for using different types of materials. Plus, when you’re working on big projects – like manufacturing car parts or building structures – pellet printing really comes into its own.
Next, we move into the potential power of Large-Scale Additive Manufacturing (LSAM) and this is where things get really exciting. Large-scale additive manufacturing (LSAM) takes the benefits of 3D printing and supercharges them for industrial applications. Imagine printing large parts in one go, without the need for assembly or complicated molds. Whether it’s parts for a car or components for construction, LSAM can dramatically reduce production time and costs.
And with Ultrafuse® Pellets, you’re not just printing bigger, you’re printing smarter. Using pellets helps cut down on material waste, making it a more sustainable choice – perfect for industries that are looking to shrink their environmental impact without compromising on quality. Just ask our resident pellet expert Tobias…
“With the introduction of our new pellet line, we have expanded our wide range of materials and holistic application solutions. A highlight of our pellet line is the colorless, transparent, food-safe PETG, fully recycled from pre-consumer waste. With high transparency, a reliable supply chain and batch-to-batch consistency, we guarantee first-class product quality as with our filaments.”

Our next stop is…Why Forward AM?
