With the G1, the Italian company Ginger Additive is positioning itself as a provider of a large-format pellet 3D printer that is intended to set new standards in the entry-level and mid-range segment in terms of both price and functionality. The G1 combines a build size of up to one cubic meter with an open material system and is based on Klipper firmware, which is regularly updated.
In contrast to conventional filament printers, the G1 uses granulate extrusion. This technology allows the direct processing of industrial plastic pellets as well as recycled or shredded material. This not only significantly reduces material costs – down to €6/kg compared to an average of €25/kg for PLA filament, according to the manufacturer – but also allows new material combinations to be realized without complex pre-processing.
The G1 achieves a maximum extrusion output of up to 3 kg per hour. Automatic calibration functions support operation so that even larger objects can be produced efficiently and with as little manual effort as possible. The target group primarily includes design studios, research institutes and companies with a need for large-format prototypes or functional components.
An open ecosystem allows the use of different materials – from standard plastics to individual material mixtures. The use of Klipper firmware enables precise control and high printing speeds. The open architecture also facilitates access for customization and expansion.
Ginger Additive emphasizes that the G1 is not only designed for economical production, but also takes sustainability aspects into account.
