Modix MAMA-1700
The MAMA-1700 is Modix’s flagship FGF (Fused Granulate Fabrication) 3D printer, engineered to print primarily with plastic granulates instead of filament. With its large build volume of 1,700 X 1,000 X 1,000 mm and high-throughput extrusion, the MAMA-1700 is purpose-built for fast R&D iterations and production-grade parts. Projects that once required days can now be completed in hours.
From the start, the MAMA XL1700 is available in both pellet and filament configurations, giving you the freedom to choose the optimal extrusion method for every project. Use filament for detailed, high-quality parts or pellet extrusion for large-scale, cost-efficient production. This dual-technology capability opens new opportunities across industries such as furniture, automotive, architecture, and advanced prototyping—delivering the perfect balance of speed, precision, and material economy.
Engineered to meet the demands of continuous industrial manufacturing, the machine is equipped with closed-loop NEMA 23 stepper motors. By continuously monitoring the motor position and automatically correcting any deviation, the system maintains smooth and reliable motion, eliminates lost steps, and ensures every printed feature precisely follows the original CAD design. This delivers consistent print quality, exceptional dimensional accuracy, and dependable performance throughout long production cycles.
Supplied as a self-assembly kit, the printer can be installed in almost any location — including spaces with narrow doorways or small basement workshops. The modular design ensures easy transport, flexible installation, and optimal deployment capabilities across various production environments.
The use of plastic pellets opens up nearly unlimited access to materials, far beyond the limits of traditional filament. Users can directly develop and test custom polymer blends, recycled plastics, and functional additives directly within the production process — accelerating innovation and enhancing flexibility for researchers and businesses.
Thanks to its massive build volume of 1,700 × 1,000 × 1,000 mm combined with multi-material extrusion technology, the MAMA-1700 pushes past the boundaries of traditional 3D printing to serve a wide range of industries. From complex engineering prototypes to full-scale, single-piece consumer products: – Industrial Molds & Jigs – Furniture & Decor – Architectural Models & Sculptures – Functional Prototyping
For manufacturers, design studios, and creators, the MAMA-1700 delivers clear investment efficiency by shortening time-to-market and reducing material costs. It serves as a powerful platform to bridge the gap from concept and prototyping to full-scale production, optimizing product development speed and market deployment capabilities.
