From its early MSLA work with the Phenom series to the belt-free precision of the Magneto X, Hong Kong-based manufacturer Peopoly has consistently pushed at the boundaries of what accessible, performance-driven 3D printing can look like. With the Giga 800, it now sets its sights on extrusion-based AM: Fused Granular Fabrication at industrial scale.
The Giga 800 is an FGF printer with an 800×800×800mm build volume and a starting price of $15,000. That figure stands in sharp contrast to the six-figure systems that have historically defined this segment.
The machine feeds raw industrial pellets directly into a custom dual-zone heating screw extruder. It achieves a maximum flow rate of 3kg of material per hour. This enables manufacturers to consolidate multi-part assemblies into single overnight jobs while reducing material costs by up to 90% versus traditional FDM filament.
“Our goal was to take the desktop ease of use that everyone is accustomed to and scale it up to industrial sizes,” said a Peopoly spokesperson. “The Giga 800 is the next step in the manufacturing revolution.”
Motion control and an open workflow
Mechanically, Peopoly has replaced conventional stepper motors with a closed-loop servo CoreXY motion system. It handles the inertia demands of high-speed large-format printing, ensuring positional accuracy and print consistency around the clock.
On the materials side, an exclusive partnership with Siraya Tech provides pre-configured, validated profiles across a broad range of engineering polymers. This lowers the barrier to reliable production from day one.
Perhaps most notably for industrial adopters, the Giga 800 runs on open-source Klipper firmware. It also operates fully air-gap ready with no mandatory internet connection and no cloud data transfer. For sectors such as defence, aerospace, and advanced R&D, where proprietary design security is non-negotiable, this is a meaningful differentiator.
The Giga 800 is now available to commercial partners through an Early Adopter program. Whether it can convert industrial buyers at scale remains to be seen but Peopoly has, once again, forced the conversation.
