FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

The most common questions about VORMETRA and the G1000 — answered plainly.

What is the VORMETRA G1000?

An industrial FGF (Fused Granulate Fabrication) 3D printer with roughly 1 m³ of build volume, pellet-fed, moving-gantry architecture. It's not a scaled-up desktop printer — it's engineered with the rigidity of a CNC/extrusion machine.

How is FGF different from FDM (filament printing)?

FDM works with spooled filament; FGF feeds directly from raw or recycled plastic granules (pellets). This skips the filament-manufacturing step — material is cheaper, and much higher throughput (kg/hour) is possible.

When will it be available to buy?

We're currently in the engineering documentation and concept design stage — not yet ready for series production or sale. We don't give a firm date, because guessing before scope and resources are clear would be misleading. Follow our current status on the Investorspage roadmap.

What materials can it print?

The target is granulated thermoplastics like PLA, PETG, ABS, PP, plus recycled and glass/carbon-filled composite materials. The final material set will be confirmed after validation testing.

How much will it cost?

We're not announcing a firm price yet — quoting a number before real cost analysis (BOM) and validation testing would be made up. Our positioning target is the gap between the "entry-mid segment" (comparable competitors ~$35–65K) and "full industrial" (~$250K+).

How will service and spare parts work?

VORMETRA's biggest edge is being able to manufacture the extruder's most critical parts (screw + barrel) in-house, using Dereli Plast's extrusion infrastructure dating back to 1997. The goal is on-site, fast service instead of waiting on imported parts.

What's VORMETRA's relationship with Dereli Plast?

VORMETRA's founder comes from the family business Dereli Plast's machine manufacturing and plastic extrusion experience. See theTeam page for details.
