The Piocreat G5 PRO is an industrial-grade 3D printer based on material extrusion. The machine employs FGF (fused granulate fabrication) technology, which is similar to FDM with the difference in the form of thermoplastics used. While FDM 3D printers utilize plastic filaments, which are normally made from granules, or pellets, FGF machines print directly with pellets, thus ensuring lower material cost. FGF 3D printers use a screw-type extrusion system, where the screw rotates and melts the pellets fed from the hopper. The molten plastic mass is extruded through a nozzle and forms layers of the future model.
The G5 PRO is equipped with a proprietary new generation high-temp extruder, providing consistent material flow and strong extrusion force without nozzle clogging. Due to high speed of printing up to 100 mm/s and spacious build volume, the G5 PRO is a good choice for a variety of industrial applications, such as architecture and design, mold production, industrial parts and consumer goods manufacturing, and others.
The magnetic spring steel build platform of the G5 PRO can be detached and bent for easy part removal. Automatic and auxiliary bed leveling provide strong first layer adhesion and prevent warping issues. It takes just 1 minute 57 seconds to heat the print bed up to 60 °C, which reduces print preparation time. Such features as pellet run-out detection and print resume after a power outage make for stable performance and allow reducing downtime.
Specifications:
The Piocreat G5 PRO can print layers with a thickness of 0.2–1.0 mm. The high-performance extruder heats up to 450 °C, providing the user with a wide choice of compatible materials, and is equipped with interchangeable nozzles with a diameter of 0.4–3.0 mm. To ensure a stable printing process with ABS-type thermoplastics, the printer is equipped with a rapidly heated print bed with a maximum temperature of 150 °C.
The Piocreat G5 PRO can print with a wide range of plastic pellets with a granule size of 2–5 mm. The list of compatible materials includes consumer and engineering thermoplastics, fiber-reinforced composites, and even some metals.
Pellet printing provides the user with a possibility of rapid material change, allowing for the combination of different plastics in a single project. You can also change the material color during printing by adding color masterbatch to the pellets.
A short guide on multi-pellet printing is presented in the picture below:
The G5 PRO build volume is 500 x 500 x 500 mm, which provides high versatility in printer’s applications.
The Piocreat G5 PRO is operated via an LCD touchscreen. The machine is equipped with an SD card and USB slots.
The recommended software to be used with the G5 PRO is Creality Print. This popular slicer features all the necessary editing tools and supports STL, OBJ, AMF, and 3DMF file formats. It is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

The Piocreat G5 PRO pellet 3D printer is available in black. Its large build volume yet relatively compact size make it ideal for any workshop, lab, or even home-maker’s studio.
The machine dimensions are 37 x 30 x 37.8 in (765 x 890 x 990 mm).
The Piocreat G5 and G5 Pro 3D printers are both based on FGF (fused granulate fabrication) technology, which is similar to FDM 3D printing and uses plastic pellets instead of filament.
Both machines have a similar build volume of 500x500x500mm and can print at a layer height of 0.2–1.0mm. Both machines are also compatible with a wide range of thermoplastics, including PLA, PETG, PVC, ABS, PC, PA, HDPE, TPU, EVA, fiber-reinforced composites, etc.
The main difference between the G5 and G5 Pro is that the G5 Pro comes with a new print head assembly, a magnetic attraction platform, and support for both automatic and auxiliary leveling modes. The G5 Pro also has a stronger Z-axis driver, which improves overall machine stability.
These changes significantly improve 3D printing quality.
The price for the Piocreat G5 PRO pellet 3D printer is $5,599.00, which is reasonable considering its high precision, great performance, and low material cost.
