Workflows in Prosthetics
Additive manufacturing has already transformed prosthetic design, enabling digital customization and flexible small-batch production.
Filament-based systems remain an essential tool for prototyping and individualized components. They have established the foundation for digital prosthetic workflows.
When Production Demand Increases
As labs expand and humanitarian programs scale, production capacity becomes as important as design flexibility.
Material sourcing, part size and output per shift begin to influence cost structure and delivery times.
This is where production-oriented systems complement existing workflows.
Pellet extrusion builds on existing digital workflows while expanding material access and improving cost efficiency at scale.
Upgrading to pellet-based production can enable:
Lower material cost per kilogram
Printing directly from pellets reduces raw material cost compared to filament, improving per-part economics as production volumes increase.
Access to industrial-grade thermoplastics
Pellet extrusion enables the use of injection-grade polymers commonly adopted in industrial manufacturing environments.
Greater sourcing flexibility
Materials can be sourced from industrial suppliers rather than specialized filament vendors, expanding availability and supply stability.
Introducing the G1
The G1 3D Printer can support structural prosthetic production alongside existing additive workflows.
Large-size production in a single build
Its 1 meter cubic print volume allows the fabrication of full structural components without segmentation or bonding steps.
Sustained industrial extrusion rates
High material flow capacity enables consistent deposition during extended production cycles.
Stable operation in professional production environments
The system architecture supports continuous use in lab and manufacturing settings.
Same budget. Different output.
Compare filament and pellet production at equal cost.
With pellets costing up to 6× less, the same budget translates into substantially more printed components.
Lower material cost expands how much you can print. Higher material flow expands how fast you can print.
Higher material throughput, up to 3kg per hour
Reduced printing time for large structural parts printed all in one
Increased daily production capacity with a meter square bed size
Real-World Adoption
The G1 is currently adopted by prosthetic manufacturers and humanitarian production hubs seeking to expand manufacturing capacity while maintaining digital workflows.
Rather than replacing existing systems, pellet extrusion adds a scalable production layer.
