• Shorten Lead Times

    Print fast with pellet extrusion on the EXT 1070, up to 10X faster compared to traditional filament extrusion 3D printing. 

  • Reduce Costs

    Save money with pellet extrusion 3D printing using affordable thermoplastic pellets, up to 10X lower cost compared to traditional filament 3D printing feedstocks.

  • Print Full Scale

    The EXT 1070's build volume of 1070mm x 1070mm x 1118mm (42”x42”x44”) enables production of full-scale medium-to-large size parts with no need for gluing pieces together.

The base unit includes a single pellet extruder but can be equipped with up to three toolheads including a second pellet extruder, a filament extruder and a 3-axis CNC spindle. The EXT 1070 is ideal for medium-to-large part production, with applications from tooling and patterns to end-use parts. 

Production Manufacturing with the EXT 1070

  • Reliable 3D Printing Production

    The EXT 1070 Titan Pellet’s industrial motion control system increases up-time and reliability with a CNC controller, closed-loop system with servos on all axes, and remote monitoring capabilities.

  • Built for the Factory Floor

    With a welded steel frame that is precision machined, the EXT 1070 is a production-proven additive manufacturing system. The actively heated and insulated industrial enclosure with door interlock makes it ready for any production environment.

  • Open Architecture for More Control

    Manufacturers can choose the right materials for their applications, with hundreds of grades of open-market pellet materials available for use on the EXT 1070. Printing and milling parameters can be dialed-in to optimize serial production applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

The EXT 1070 can support up to three toolheads on its gantry. The machine is standard with one pellet extruder. Optional configurations include adding a second pellet extruder, a milling spindle toolhead, or a single filament extruder.  

The EXT 1070 LT version is limited to one pellet extruder plus filament extruders. Dual pellet or spindle configurations are not available. 


Pellets, or granules, are the most affordable 3D printing feedstock available. With the dual retracting pellet extruders available on the Ext 1070, you are no longer limited to using filament extrusion to print with multiple materials. With a dual extruder system that includes one pellet extruder and one filament extruder, not only can you still print with two materials, but you can also select the right extrusion method for your application. Some examples of dual material printing include printing with a high-performance model material and a water-soluble support material out of pellets or filament, or printing with rigid and flexible materials on the same part. 


No, the EXT 1070 can utilize 100s of grades of pellet materials and dozens of filament materials from the supplier of your choice. 3D Systems’ experts can recommend the right materials for your application and provide materials already proven on our systems. 


Yes. During software preparation of the print file, the overall part height determines how many milling passes will be required. You may print 25mm (1in) in height, for example, then mill, then print another 25mm (1in), then mill, and so on until the fully printed and milled part is complete. 


Aside from a difference in build volume (the 1070 can print more than 3X as large), the 1070 is also compatible with multiple toolheads whereas the EXT 800 is equipped with a single pellet extruder. 


The primary difference is build size. The EXT 1070’s maximum print size is 1070mm x 1070mm x 1118mm (42” x 42” x 44”) while the EXT 1270 can print up to 1270mm x 1270mm x 1829mm (50” x 50” x 72”).
