has incorporated its Pellet Additive Manufacturing (PAM) technology into a new machine, the Pam Pro.

Pam Pro succeeds the pam o2, which is dedicated to research applications, prototyping and small production runs. Pam Pro's print volume has been greatly increased to 680 x 680 x 500 mm. Pollen AM also has accelerated Pam Pro's printing speed by a factor of six while maintaining high resolution. Its extrusion head, capable of printing 500 mm/s at over 300°C, measures between 0.25 and 2.5 mm, with the option of adapting it to an IDEX version, i.e., with two extruders for multiple mirror or multimaterial printing. Equipped with a real-time monitoring camera, AI diagnostics for defect detection can be installed in the printing chamber.

The entire 3D printing process is fully automated, simplifying the use of Pam Pro, according to the company.

“With our flagship pam o2 model, we had opted for an expert positioning, with a mandatory manufacturer support before the sale. Now we've broadened the spectrum with Pam Pro. We have ensured that this solution is automated and therefore accessible to all users wishing to produce using additive manufacturing,” says Didier Fonta, managing director of Pollen AM.

Pam Pro already has a broad portfolio of printable materials: PLA, TPE (45 Shore A), TPU (85 Shore A), PP 15GF, PA 15GF and BVOH (water-soluble material).

The pam o2 and Pam Pro 3D printers are manufactured in France. They are said to offer users a production tool that can be adapted to project needs. Aimed at production customers, design offices, laboratories, research centers, academics and various industries, the printers can be used to directly transform standard injection materials, for the benefit of familiar properties.

The first 50 Pam Pros will be delivered between September and December 2025, and pre-orders are already available.
