3D printing is growing by leaps and bounds but until I saw Pam, a new advanced 3D printer from Paris-based Pollen AM, I thought they were all so ugly. Pam, crafted of wood, is the first attractive 3D printer. One I’d be proud to leave out.

Pam has no installation required and uses WiFi or ethernet connectivity. A remote control allows you to use PAM from any device, anywhere. It’s the first 3D printer to use pellets as a raw materials and Pam can use up to four materials simultaneously.

Fully automated and designed to work with specific software, Pam has auto-calibration, live error control and cloud control.

Pam gives you commercial quality output and is fast and cost-effective.

Other examples of items made with Pam include eyeglass frames, vessels, shoe inserts and surfboard fins:

HARDWARE

From its electronics to its mechanical parts, Pollen stopped at nothing to design and engineer Pam. For its performance, of course, but also for its aesthetics.

MATERIALS

Pam is the first 3D Printer to use pellets as a raw materials. Each set comes with a selection of materials, with all the intended properties, Smart Support materials and an array of colors. And there is more: materials can be filled with natural fibers, carbon, minerals, metal particles or textiles to obtain even more possibilities.

SOFTWARE

From the mathematical models governing Pam, to the user interface, the Pollen team has engineered from the ground up its Honeyprint software to ensure optimal quality and maximum versatility.
