With the Pam Pro, French company Pollen AM is presenting a new system for additive manufacturing based on granules. The large-format 3D printer was presented to the public for the first time at TCT 3Sixty 2025. It is aimed at users who are looking for industrial print quality at a comparatively low price. The machine uses Pollen AM’s own Pellet Additive Manufacturing (PAM) technology, which can significantly reduce material costs.
Compared to classic FDM systems, the Pam Pro works with thermoplastic pellets instead of filament. As these raw materials are widely used in the plastics industry, this results in a cost advantage of up to 90 percent, according to the manufacturer. The use of standard materials also facilitates certification and integration into existing production environments. Pollen AM also offers its own portfolio of plastic pellets in smaller batches that are specially prepared for 3D printing.
Technically, the Pam Pro offers a build volume of 680 × 680 × 500 mm at a maximum printing speed of 500 mm/s. The extrusion temperature reaches up to 300 °C, the heating bed up to 150 °C. The system can be operated with one or two extruders (IDEX). The die diameters range from 0.25 to 2.5 mm. An integrated camera takes care of automatic calibration. Further AI functions for error detection are to follow.
With a price of 25,000 euros, Pollen AM is targeting companies with small series production or prototype requirements. The system will be sold exclusively via regional specialist dealers. The first deliveries are planned from fall 2025, initially in the Western European market.
