Several models
Different budgets
We plan to offer printers at different price points, so customers can choose equipment to suit their applications and budgets.
Planned printer range
FGF PRO / INVESTMENT
From prototypeto pilotproduction
A working printer has already been built. The next step is to refine it and lay the groundwork for series production.
/01
What we have achieved
A working prototype with our own extruder has been built. Print samples have been produced using different polymer families. The printer and samples have been presented at an industry exhibition.
The next step is to prepare a pilot batch, expand the database of tested polymer grades and refine the design for series production.

FGF PRO TEAM
Building a product we would buy ourselves.
We are a small, close-knit team with a passion for 3D printing. We enjoy designing, building, experimenting with materials and seeing an idea become a working machine. That is the spirit behind FGF PRO.
Everything we have created for the project so far has been funded entirely from our own resources. We invest our time, energy and money, driven by enthusiasm and belief in what we do. That is how we reached a working prototype, which we continue to improve.
Our guiding principle is simple: build a product we would want to buy and use ourselves. FGF PRO should be useful in real work, leave room for experimentation and help people bring their own ideas to life. We are making it for people who love 3D printing as much as we do.
Our ambitions go beyond building a printer. We want the project to help put plastic waste back to use, turning unwanted material into feedstock for new products. That is another reason we are developing pellet printing.
LONG-TERM GOALFrom plastic waste —
From plastic waste —
to useful new objects
One of our long-term goals is to create a complete plastic recycling cycle, from preparing waste to printing useful new objects. This is a direction we still need to develop. FGF PRO is our step toward making this approach more accessible not only to large manufacturers, but also to small workshops and enthusiasts.

How the project will generate revenue
The business model comprises three areas: equipment, optional extras and consumables.
Several models
Additional
capabilities
A configuration tailored to the printer's specific application.
Heated chamber
Chamber refinement and testing as part of the printer.
Molding module
An optional module for producing molded parts.
In development
Consumables for
ongoing use
We plan to sell consumables for use with the equipment.
We will discuss detailed production economics and the sales launch plan at an in-person meeting.
/05
What funding will enable
Prepare a pilot batch and move toward series production of FGF PRO.
ALREADY ACHIEVED
The prototype is built and printing
We have progressed from designing the machine to building a working printer. It already lets us print parts, experiment with materials and identify the improvements needed before producing a pilot batch.
01Our own extruder
We have built a working prototype with an extruder developed in-house for printing directly from polymer pellets. It provides the foundation for further development of FGF PRO.
02Real sample prints
We have tested a wide range of polymers on the prototype, using different print settings and nozzle diameters. The resulting samples and practical experience help us select settings for each material and task.
03Experiments with formulations
We have gone beyond ready-made materials, trying our own mixtures with colorants, glitter, wood shavings, bronze powder and other additives. These experiments are part of exploring what FGF PRO can do, from changing the color and texture of objects to finding new printing formulations.
04Demonstration at an industry exhibition
The working printer and sample prints have been presented at an industry exhibition. The gallery shows the prototype, demonstrations and printed objects.
The next task is to move from a working prototype to a pilot batch: prepare the design for repeatable assembly and test several machines in operation.
View the prototype and samples01Design for mass production
Optimize parts and assembly, and improve the ease of manufacturing and servicing the printer.
02Complete heated chamber development
Refine the structure and temperature control, and test the chamber as part of the printer.
03Develop the molding module
Create an add-on module for manufacturing molded products and test its operation.
04Database of tested polymer grades
Build as comprehensive a database as possible of verified grades, with print settings, test results and application recommendations.
* Planned duration from receipt of funding. Includes preparation and testing of the pilot batch.
Use the pilot-batch test results to make the necessary design changes and organise component procurement, assembly and quality control. Prepare documentation and launch series production of the printers.
* After the pilot batch has been completed and tested.
Planned timeframes. They may be revised based on development and test results.

Discuss investment opportunities
We invite investors to take part in developing FGF PRO, from a working prototype to a pilot batch and subsequent series production.
At an in-person meeting, we will show the prototype and print samples and discuss the technical solutions and development plan. The funding amount and participation terms will be discussed individually.
