This large-format 3D printer features a single pellet extruder as standard, but can be customized with up to three toolheads, including a second pellet extruder, a filament extruder, and a 3-axis milling spindle. The EXT 1270 is an ideal solution for manufacturing large-scale parts, ranging from tooling and patterns to end-use products.
Built for Production
The EXT 1270 Titan Pellet is purpose-built for production additive manufacturing, capable of producing functional, high-performance parts in industries such as foundry, automotive, aerospace and defense, and consumer products.
Featuring a welded steel frame and an industrial actively heated enclosure, the EXT 1270 is production-ready and can be upgraded with a second pellet extruder, filament printing capability, and/or CNC milling functionality either at the time of purchase or later on.
Whether you need patterns, molds, tooling, jigs, fixtures, end-use parts or full-scale prototypes, the EXT 1270 is a proven production solution.
Pellet Extrusion on the EXT 1270
The EXT 1270 is proven with a wide variety of pellet materials, ranging from commodity feedstocks to high-temperature, high-performance materials such as CF-PEI, GF-PEKK, Nylons and Polycarbonate. Pellet extrusion also enables the use of highly flexible elastomers and high-percentage glass and carbon-filled materials that are difficult, or impossible, to print from filament all while reducing material costs up to 10X and delivering 10X higher deposition rates.
Hybrid Manufacturing on the EXT 1270
The EXT 1270 Titan Pellet features our proven pellet extrusion system and can be equipped with additional toolheads on the same gantry, such as a filament extruder or second pellet extruder, enabling high-speed, multi-material printing. With the optional CNC spindle toolhead, the EXT 1270 allows for true hybrid manufacturing, enabling the machining of 3D printed parts both during and after the printing process. Experience next-level production additive manufacturing with the EXT 1270, which shortens cycle times and produces smooth, accurate end-use 3D printed parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
The EXT 1270’s gantry can support up to three toolheads, making it highly customizable for your needs. The machine comes standard with one pellet extruder, but optional configurations allow for a second pellet extruder, a milling spindle toolhead, or a single filament extruder.
Examples of dual material printing include printing water-soluble supports for high-performance model material or printing flexible and rigid materials in the same part. With the dual retracting pellet extruders available on the Ext 1270, you can print with two different pellet materials in the same print. Or, with a dual extruder system of one pellet extruder and one filament extruder, you can print with two materials and also select the right extrusion method for your application.
No. The EXT 1270 is compatible with a wide range of pellet and filament materials from various suppliers, giving customers the flexibility to choose the materials that best suit their application needs. 3D Systems' experienced professionals can offer recommendations on materials and provide options that have already been tested on Titan systems for added peace of mind.Shape
Yes. The software preparation of the print file determines how many milling passes are required based on the overall part height. The machine can print a certain height and then mill that section before continuing with the next layer. This allows for true hybrid manufacturing, where the 3D printing and CNC milling processes are integrated seamlessly to produce fully finished and functional parts in a single machine.
Aside from a difference in build volume (the 1270 can print more than 7X 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”).
