Our custom High-Temperature Plastic Printer was developed to meet the demands of industrial-scale polycarbonate production. This customized 3D printer enables the efficient, durable production of large components, such as lighting shades of 600 x 600 x 600 mm, that require high-temperature materials and high-volume output.
Our client, a manufacturer specializing in durable lighting products, required a 3D printer capable of handling high-temperature materials like polycarbonate for large-scale production. We customized our Pro HT platform to create a solution that met the client’s needs for reliable performance, durability, and efficiency.
The FELIXprinters Pro HT is as tough and durable as the filament types it prints. Built to provide the ideal environment for quality polycarbonate prints. The machine is designed with high performance in mind, able to withstand and deliver on rigorous demands.

We began by evaluating the Pro HT platform’s potential for high-temperature polycarbonate printing, conducting material compatibility checks and sourcing suitable components to ensure we could meet both technical and economic requirements. This phase confirmed the project’s viability, creating a clear roadmap for development.
With feasibility established, we moved to prototype development. Our team designed, sourced high-temp components, and built the first model with enhanced heating elements and a reinforced structure for larger print volumes. After rigorous testing, the prototype met all client specifications for durability and high-temperature functionality.
0-Series Phase: Based on prototype testing, we refined specifications and optimized the design, producing a small batch to verify consistency and reliability in real-world conditions. This phase ensured that all elements performed as expected, readying the model for full-scale production.
In full-scale production, we finalized all adjustments, documented specifications, and built the entire batch of customized printers. The units were then prepared and shipped, ready for immediate integration into the client’s production line.
To ensure a smooth transition, we provided in-person and online training to the client’s team, along with ongoing maintenance and support to keep the printer operating at peak performance. This phase established a strong support system, ensuring sustained productivity and satisfaction.
A few months after delivery, we conducted a follow-up review to assess the printer’s performance in action. Based on client feedback, we made minor adjustments and provided further insights to maximize efficiency, creating a feedback loop for continuous improvement and long-term success.
