Tumaker Mini PRO PELLET

The Tumaker Mini Pro can be equipped with both a filament extruder and a pellet extruder. In its pellet version, it represents a radical change in how industrial 3D printing is understood. This printer, equipped with a specific extruder for plastic granules, allows working directly with materials in their most economical and versatile state, eliminating exclusive dependence on traditional filament and opening the door to new opportunities in additive manufacturing. It features a build volume of 145 × 115 × 150 mm, with a print head reaching 300 ºC and a heated bed up to 100 ºC with an automatic calibration system. Its enclosure prevents the print from being affected by drafts or sudden temperature changes and includes a filtering system.

One of the great advantages of this solution is the ability to take advantage of a much wider catalog of materials, both virgin and recycled. Thanks to this, it is possible to manufacture parts with advanced properties, difficult to achieve by other extrusion systems. From high-performance technical polymers to compounds loaded with fibers or functional additives, the Tumaker Mini Pro Pellet allows printing with flexibility adapted to the most demanding industrial requirements.

The FGF (Fused Granulate Fabrication) extrusion system developed by Tumaker has been designed to provide a stable, uniform, and powerful material flow, allowing precise deposition even on large parts. Unlike filament-based systems, pellet printing allows a higher manufacturing speed, a considerable cost reduction, and an improvement in process sustainability, thanks to the direct use of recycled or reused materials without the need to transform them into filament. Its pellet extruder is an efficient and versatile solution for professionals seeking to expand their printing capabilities, reduce costs, and explore a wider variety of materials. The print head is compatible with nozzles of 0.4 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm, 2.0 mm, 4.0 mm, and 5.0 mm.

Additionally, the printer's modular design allows easy adaptation to different production needs. Its robust and professional structure has been designed for continuous and demanding use in industrial environments, ensuring an optimized experience even under prolonged conditions. Its control system, intuitive and powerful, facilitates integration into professional workflows, while its compatibility with standard slicing software ensures a smooth transition from other systems. Regarding connectivity, it offers MicroSD, WiFi, and Ethernet, and can be controlled via its 5" color touchscreen.

The Tumaker Mini Pro stands out for its modular architecture, which allows easy interchange between the pellet extruder and the Direct Drive HR filament print head. This adaptability offers users the flexibility to choose the extrusion system most suitable for each project, whether taking advantage of the economy and sustainability of pellets or the precision and material variety available in filament format.

The Direct Drive HR filament print head is compatible with a wide range of materials, including PLA, ABS, ASA, PET-G, NYLON, and TPU, among others. Additionally, it allows the use of interchangeable nozzles of 0.15 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.6 mm, and 0.8 mm, facilitating adaptation to different resolution and printing speed requirements. This versatility makes the Tumaker Mini Pro an ideal tool for environments demanding both rapid prototyping and production of functional parts with high-quality standards.

The Tumaker Mini Pro stands out not only for its technology but also for its commitment to a more efficient and sustainable manufacturing model. By using material in its primary form, the intermediate processing required to produce filament is avoided, which significantly reduces environmental and energy impact. This industrial 3D printer is aimed at those who need to manufacture large-format functional parts, with full control over materials, significant cost savings, and greater autonomy. It is an advanced technological solution designed to transform 3D printing into a true production process, meeting the challenges imposed by advanced manufacturing.
