Pellet-based extrusion brings industrial-scale Additive Manufacturing within reach—offering dramatically higher throughput,
reduced material costs, and the freedom to use a broad range of thermoplastics.
This article introduces the fundamentals of pellet extrusion (MEX), compares leading machines like the Mingda Mextru1300 and 3D Systems EXT Titan, and outlines what users need to know about workflow, installation, and production readiness.
The first layer is the foundation of every successful print.
Poor adhesion leads to warping, lifting, failed supports, or complete detachment — no matter how well your slicer is tuned or your filament is dried.
This guide covers everything you need to know to get that first layer down right, every time.
Whether you're printing classroom prototypes, end-use parts, or engineering samples, moisture in filament is one of the most common—and most misunderstood—causes of print failures.
From surface quality to part strength and dimensional accuracy, keeping your filament dry is critical to achieving consistent results.
As the Additive Manufacturing sector enters 2026, the landscape looks markedly different from even a year ago.
Turbulence in 2025 reshaped competitive dynamics and accelerated adoption in key industrial applications.
We make some predictions for 2026 based on recent Australian economic data, and what we found at FormNext for the coming year.
