LFAM 3D Printing
LFAM extends additive manufacturing beyond the standard machine envelope using high-output polymer deposition. It is suited to large patterns, moulds, displays, architectural elements, marine components, and full-scale prototypes.
Pellet-fed polymers and reinforced compounds can reduce material cost and production time compared with conventional filament printing while supporting substantially larger geometry.
Projects are assessed individually for segmentation, reinforcement, thermal movement, tool paths, assembly, transport, and finishing so the complete object is practical to manufacture and install.
Project-specific build envelope
Large parts can be produced continuously or divided into engineered sections for transport and assembly.
High-output pellet extrusion
Pellet-fed systems deposit material rapidly for large walls, forms, moulds, and structural shells.
Reinforced material options
Selected glass- and carbon-fibre compounds improve stiffness and dimensional stability.
Integrated finishing strategy
Machining, filling, coating, painting, and assembly are planned around the final application.

LFAM 3D printing FAQs
What is LFAM?
LFAM is large-format additive manufacturing, typically using high-output pellet extrusion to produce geometry beyond standard desktop and industrial printer envelopes.
What is the maximum LFAM size?
The workable size depends on geometry, material, transport, and whether the part is made continuously or in engineered sections. We assess the complete project before quoting.
Can large prints be used outdoors?
Yes, when the material, structure, coating, drainage, UV exposure, and installation method are designed for the intended outdoor environment.
Can LFAM surfaces be smooth?
Yes. Large-format parts can be machined, filled, sanded, coated, or painted depending on the required tolerance and appearance.
Do you help split and assemble large models?
Yes. Segmentation, locating features, reinforcement, bonding, transport, and on-site assembly can be considered during project planning.
