Peopoly launches the Giga 800, a large-format FGF printer priced at $15,000

Hong Kong-based 3D printer manufacturer Peopoly launched the Giga 800, a large-format material extrusion (Fused Granular Fabrication or FGF) printer with an 800×800×800 mm build volume and a starting price of $15,000. The machine feeds raw industrial pellets directly into a dual-zone heating screw extruder, reaching a maximum throughput of 3 kg of polymer per hour.

The company positioned the Giga 800 against conventional large-format FGF systems, which typically carry six-figure price tags and require pneumatic feeding infrastructure. Peopoly claimed the pellet-based approach reduces material costs by up to 90% compared to standard FDM filament, and that the build volume is sufficient to consolidate multi-part assemblies — previously requiring several days of printing — into single overnight jobs.

“Our goal was to take the desktop ease of use that everyone is accustomed to and scale it up to industrial sizes,” a Peopoly spokesperson said. “It allows for the rapid creation of truly massive parts like composite molds, automotive fixtures, and large architectural models without the prohibitive costs usually associated with this scale.”

Large-format pellet handling

Rather than stepper motors, the Giga 800 uses a closed-loop servo CoreXY motion system designed to manage the inertia of high-mass, high-speed, large-format printing. The closed-loop configuration provides continuous positional feedback, which Peopoly said eliminates layer shifts during extended production runs.

Pellet printing has historically produced surface defects from oozing and stringing at the nozzle. Peopoly addressed this by pairing active mechanical retraction with Klipper’s Pressure Advance algorithm. The machine ships with pre-configured material profiles developed in partnership with Siraya Tech’s materials team.

Air-gap operation and early access

The Giga 800 runs on open-source Klipper firmware and is designed to operate without a network connection, a configuration Peopoly described as “air-gap ready.” The company said this was intended to meet the security requirements of defense, aerospace, and advanced R&D customers who cannot allow proprietary design data to leave a facility.

The printer is currently available through an early adopter program for commercial partners and print farms. Applications are open via a dedicated form on Peopoly’s website.
