-
Decrease Part Costs
Reduce material costs up to 10X with pellet feedstocks and cut labor costs with automated milling of parts on the print bed
-
End-Use Manufacturing Ready
The Atlas-HS is proven for industrial applications including creating patterns, molds, jigs, fixtures, and end-use parts.
Pellet Extrusion + Spindle for In-Situ or Post Milling of 3D Printed Parts
The Atlas-HS with hybrid additive and subtractive capabilities provides new solutions for surface finish and production parts, all in one industrial system. Print fast with pellet extrusion and then smooth the part quickly with milling, either during or after the printing process while keeping the part on the print bed.
The Atlas-HS is designed and built to address the needs of customers in industries including aerospace, automotive, casting, goods, government agencies, and more. The hybrid additive and subtractive system on the Atlas-HS enables users to quickly and cost-effectively manufacture end-use parts, patterns, molds, tools, jigs, and fixtures on a single machine.
Pellet Extrusion on the Atlas-HS
3D print with high temperature materials including CF-PEI, GF-PEKK, and GF-PC on the Atlas-HS with Titan’s pellet extrusion system and industrial heated enclosure. Direct pellet-fed 3D printing enables the use of a wide range of materials while reducing material cost by up to 10X and with up to 10X higher deposition rates compared to filament 3D printing.
Hybrid Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing on the Atlas-HS
The Atlas-HS incorporates Titan’s proven pellet extrusion system with a 3-axis milling system on the same gantry. The hybrid additive and subtractive technology enables 3D printed parts to be machined both during and after the printing process. Taking production additive manufacturing to the next level, the Atlas-HS shortens cycle times and produces smooth and accurate end-use 3D printed parts.
Atlas-HS: Additive and Subtractive on a Single Platform
- 3-axis milling capabilities for 3D printed parts
- Two capabilities on one industrial platform
- Print and mill full-size, functional parts and prototypes
Production Manufacturing with the Atlas-HS
-
Reliable 3D Printing and Milling for Production
The Atlas-HS' industrial motion control system increases up-time and reliability with a CNC controller, closed-loop system with servos on all axes, and remote monitoring capabilities.
-
Built for the Factory Floor
With a welded steel frame that is precision machined, the Atlas-HS is a production-proven additive manufacturing system. The industrial heated and insulated enclosure means the Atlas-HS is ready for any production floor with a controlled environment for printing and milling.
-
Open Architecture for More Control
Manufacturers can choose the right materials for their applications, with hundreds of grades of open-market pellet materials available for use on the Atlas-HS. Printing and milling parameters can be dialed-in to optimize serial production hybrid manufacturing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Atlas-HS can support up to three tollheads on its gantry. The Atlas-HS is available with one pellet extruder and one spindle toolhead, as well as an optional single filament extruder. The Atlas-HS is also available with dual pellet extruders and a spindle toolhead for dual printing and milling capabilities. See the Atlas and Atlas-H pages for extrusion only options without a spindle.
Pellets, or granules, are the most affordable 3D printing feedstock available. With the dual retracting pellet extruders on the Atlas-HS, you are no longer limited to using filament extrusion in order to print with multiple materials. With a dual extruder system that includes one pellet extruder and one filament extruder, not only can you still print with two materials, but you can also select the right extrusion method for your application. Some examples of dual material printing include printing with a high-performance model material and a water soluble support material out of pellets or filament, or printing with rigid and flexible materials on the same part.
No, the Atlas-HS can utilize 100’s of grades of pellet materials and dozens of filament materials from the supplier of your choice. Titan’s experts can recommend the right materials for your application and provide materials already proven on the Atlas-HS systems. Titan can also assist customers in procuring their desired materials.
Yes, the Atlas-HS enables milling of parts in-situ, or during the printing process. Through software and G-Code, the Atlas-HS will print a section of the part, for example 1″ in height, then switch to the spindle toolhead to mill that section of the print. Once milling of the section is complete, the system will begin printing another section and repeat this process until the part build is complete.
The Atlas-HS is the only model that features a spindle toolhead for milling parts. The Atlas-HS is available with several extruder options, such as a single pellet and single filament extruder in addition to the spindle, or dual pellet extruders and the spindle toolhead. The Atlas-HS features a heavy-duty, robust frame and industrial components to support the spindle and additional extruder toolheads.
Yes, Titan’s experts are your partner for implementing this technology every step of the way. From guiding you in preparing your site for machine installation, to training before, during, and after on-site installation, we use our extensive know-how to ensure your success. Titan offers training remotely as well as in-person during installation.
