In industrial 3D printing, scale and standardization often go hand in hand. But since its founding in 2011, FELIX 3D printers has built its reputation on a different principle: adaptability. The Dutch manufacturer’s modular approach has allowed it to create tailor-made 3D printing solutions, as well as standard products, for serving industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, bioprinting, and food production. Thanks to its modular printer architecture, FELIX 3D printers can develop customized, application-specific printers in a short time. Now, at Formnext 2025, FELIX 3D printers is bringing that same principle to the factory floor with the final prototypes for two new industrial systems: the Pro XL 3.1 and the Pro XXL.
Both printers build on FELIX 3D printers’ proven modular platform, combining speed, reliability, and a robust, low-maintenance design for industrial use. They are joined by a new industrial drying cabinet for optimized filament storage, completing a cohesive ecosystem designed for high-mix, low-volume production. Here, we’ll be exploring the features of these two new printers, along with the drying cabinet.
The Pro XL 3.1 has an upgraded CoreXY motion system.
The Pro XL 3.1: Built for Precision, Designed for Adaptability
The Pro XL 3.1 combines large-format capability with high-speed precision, offering a build volume of 600 × 400 × 600 mm and print speeds up to 500 mm/s. Its upgraded CoreXY motion system delivers fast acceleration and quiet operation, while the heated bed and chamber allow temperatures up to 120 °C and 70 °C, respectively.
Version 3.1 features fully modular Controller Area Network (CAN) bus architecture, which allows devices to communicate with each other. This allows for scalable connectivity and simplified servicing. Additionally, the printer features a QuickSwap printhead with load-cell probing for automatic calibration. Plus, the printhead is high-speed, capable of extruding up to 80 mm³/s. Filament handling is optimized with dual DryCore modules, pre-feeding, and active drying with automatic pallet regeneration, while a recirculating air system with HEPA and activated carbon filtration maintains stable climate conditions. Optional upgrades include an under-printer drying cabinet and an auto spool changer supporting up to six 4.5 kg spools, making the system well-suited for uninterrupted, high-mix production.
Pro XXL: Industrial Scale, Modular DNA
The Pro XXL brings FELIX 3D printers’ modular approach to large-format industrial 3D printing, offering a massive build volume of 1500 × 1000 × 1000 mm while maintaining print speeds up to 500 mm/s. Its linear servo motor system with closed-loop feedback delivers 2 µm resolution and up to 2 G acceleration, ensuring high-speed performance without sacrificing precision. The Box-in-Box gantry and stationary print bed with a four-zone vacuum system provide stability and consistent layer adhesion.
The Pro XXL offers a 1500 × 1000 × 1000 mm build volume.
Like the Pro XL 3.1, the Pro XXL features CAN-bus architecture and QuickSwap printhead with load-cell probing, allowing easy servicing and future upgrades. Filament handling is also similarly optimized, with active DryCore modules, pre-feeding, and an auto spool changer for up to four 4.5 kg spools, automatically resuming printing when switching. Additionally, the printer has the same air quality control features as the Pro XL 3.1.
A Modular Ecosystem for the Factory Floor
At Formnext, FELIX 3D printers is also showcasing its industrial drying cabinet, designed to ensure optimal filament conditions across a range of materials. Its modular design accommodates up to four DryCore units, each capable of handling spools from 250 grams to 4.5 kilograms. With controlled humidity below 10% and drying temperatures up to 90 °C, it ensures that even the most demanding filaments can be dried.
All systems are supported by FELIX 3D printers’ web-based print server, allowing remote team access, webcam monitoring, and browser-based control. Combined with the company’s Cura-based FELIX Slicer Software, these tools create a seamless workflow from setup to production.
The industrial drying cabinet ensures ideal filament conditions.
With the Pro XL 3.1, Pro XXL, and new drying cabinet, FELIX 3D printers is reinforcing its commitment to scalable, application-driven 3D printing, positioning itself uniquely within the industrial landscape, supporting their targeted production power.
