On the hardware side, Formicum sells refurbished Mcor IRIS printers, which it tests and cleans before sale and covers with a 12-month warranty from Formicum, and a CleanGreen3D CG-1 demonstration unit built in 2018. The site states that Formicum took over worldwide distribution of consumables and spare parts for Mcor and CleanGreen3D printers, sells them through its own online shop, and provides support and maintenance for these machines. Its own product is the BFP-1, a pellet-fed large-format printer built to customer specifications. Published figures include a nozzle diameter up to 4 mm, nozzle temperature up to 450 degrees Celsius, material throughput of 1 kg per hour, parts up to 100 kg, up to three heating zones, Duet control electronics, stepper or servo drives and proximity-sensor mesh bed levelling. Tested materials are ABS pellets, PETG, PLA and PP. The home page cites a 1 cubic metre build volume, while the product page says build dimensions can be adapted per customer.
Formicum also creates and repairs 3D data, builds models by hand, and offers coaching and consulting. It develops software and hardware, including VR and AR applications for devices such as HoloLens and HTC VIVE, backend systems, genetic and evolutionary algorithms, and AI-based image recognition routines.
