Print head system

Dynamic print head

The mechanical properties of parts are up to 300% better than conventional 3D printing processes thanks to our market-leading print process (tested to ISO 527). The homogeneous material mass also ensures particularly dense components.

Print head system

Material-friendly melting unit

A wide range of materials thanks to injection molding granulate. Certified materials (e.g. UL 94 V-0 standards, radar protection, ESD, and more) are also possible thanks to our award-winning, particularly material-friendly melting process.

Flexible software platform

Select materials from a large database. Qualifying your own material is easy. Software updates with one click. Especially beginner- and user-friendly.

3D printing with Bosch. Our promise – your advantage

There are many reasons to buy a Bosch Pellet Printer. So many, in fact, that we don't have enough space on this page to list them all. The least we can do is share our favorite reasons.

Wide variety of materials thanks to injection molding pellets

Processing of soft materials (e.g., TPE 32 Shore 00) through to fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (e.g., PA6 GF30) and high-performance materials (e.g., PPS GF40).

Certified material – special properties

Valuable material certifications are proven to remain intact in the component thanks to Bosch's gentle and award-winning process. From ESD-certified to flame-retardant. External laboratory tests are available.

Unique Bosch process – best-in-class tensile and flexural strengths

The mechanical properties of components produced using the Bosch Pellet Printer are up to 300% better than those produced using conventional 3D printing methods. We would be happy to provide you with our test results in accordance with ISO-527.

Shortens development time through pre-testing on functional prototypes

Use series material right from the prototyping stage. Ideal for functional models and valuable pre-series “preliminary tests” on functionality and material behavior (such as tightness, flammability, and much more). We would be happy to show you test results from independent laboratories.

Clear price advantage thanks to proven injection molding pellets instead of expensive special filaments

We don't need expensive 3D printing-optimized special materials with material lock-in. Simply print with inexpensive, established standard pellets and benefit from the high material availability and low prices per kilogram.

Your material, your competitive advantage. Take advantage of our material qualification

Our selection of materials is wide and growing steadily. If your desired material is not listed, you can qualify it with us. Prototyping, small series, series production – all in one material.

Test Results According to ISO 527

“Outstanding mechanical properties.” – Anyone can claim that. But we can actually prove it. Here are some of the test results.

Flexural strength — Transparency is important to us. That is why we would like to point out here that this test was conducted under laboratory conditions using optimized printing processes. Results may be less favorable when the printer is operated by beginners. However, even those results are still at least as good as the very best FFF printers on the market. Unfortunately, our competitors never mention that their tests are conducted under laboratory conditions. We want to change that. Out of fairness, we are providing this information.

What Sets Us Apart from the Competition

Our polished samples. A glimpse into the structure.

Clear price advantage, no material lock-in

We do not sell our own expensive "special" and 3D printing-optimized materials, but instead enable our customers to process proven and constantly available standard plastic pellets (such as injection molding pellets), which are often already used in their companies. In terms of price, these standardized injection molding pellets are significantly lower than the prices of our competitors.

Automotive – PA6 GF30 HI

Typical series materials such as PA6 with fiber filling up to 50% are used here. Prototype to series production.

Railway – TPE Shore 50A FR

Certified flame-retardant material for passenger transport. Also complies with DIN EN45545-2 standard.

Plastics manufacturing – PA6 CF30 (ESD)

Despite fiber filling, it has a great surface. It can also withstand high operational demands.

Prototype construction – PPS GF40 (chemical resistant)

Thermally stable, chemically resistant, and low in ions. Withstands mechanical stress (such as operating and vibration loads) and is also gas-tight.

Orthopedic Technology – TPE 32 Shore 00

A particularly soft, gel-like material, e.g., for custom shoe insoles or wheelchair seat cushions. Durable materials for protective helmets or orthoses are also available.

Significantly shorten product development time through preliminary testing on functional prototypes – PPS GF40 High Temp

A success story from the automotive and mobility sectors

For Bosch’s Fuel Cell Mobility division (winner of the "Deutsche Zukunftspreis" 2025), the Bosch Pellet Printer made a huge difference, particularly in product development. The material that would later be used in series production could be tested in various areas as early as the functional prototypes of the first design phase. In product development, this saves time, money, and resources. Or – as we hear here – years. But enough talk – see for yourself what Hans and Janis have to say:

Use the same material for later injection molding production runs as early as the prototyping stage – PA6 GF30

A success story from the field of orthopedic technology

Together with prototype builder Matthias Geertsema (from WMT GmbH – Wir machen Technik) and our strong partner Alexander Polte (VISIOTECH GmbH), we were able to turn dreams into reality. To build the wheel of an electric rollator for a customer order, Matthias was looking for a way to produce prototypes and functional samples (up to B-samples) quickly, cost-effectively, and as close to production as possible. The subsequent series production was planned using injection molding with PA6GF30. Thanks to the Bosch Pellet Printer, he was able to produce the first prototypes using the material that would eventually be used in series production. But enough about us – hear for yourself what our customer has to say:
