INTAMSYS Launches the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO: Redefining Continuous Production with High-Speed, High-Strength PAEK 3D Printing

From "Printing PEEK Well" to "Scaling PAEK Production"

FRANKFURT, Germany, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- INTAMSYS, a global leader in industrial FFF 3D printing, officially launched today its next-generation high-performance materials 3D printer, the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO, at Formnext.

Over the past decade, FFF 3D printing has evolved from prototyping to functional part production. INTAMSYS has consistently been at the forefront of this industrial transformation.

In 2016, INTAMSYS launched its first high-temperature printer, the FUNMAT HT, becoming one of the earliest companies to achieve stable FFF printing of PEEK. At a time when "printing PLA well" was still a benchmark, INTAMSYS set a new standard with its ability to "print PEEK well" -- drawing worldwide attention. As a pioneer of PEEK 3D printing, the company paved the way for high-performance materials to be adopted in industrial additive manufacturing.

Since then, INTAMSYS has continuously expanded material compatibility -- from PEEK to the broader PAEK family and a wide range of engineering-grade thermoplastics -- solidifying its leadership in the industrial FFF segment.

Now, INTAMSYS is pushing beyond "printing well" to enable continuous production with PAEK materials. The new FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO is born from this vision -- marking a new era where high-performance materials move from the lab to the production line.

From 3D Printer to Productivity System:

A System-Level Leap in High-Performance Material Printing

The 310 APOLLO is not just another advancement in the FUNMAT series -- it is a system-level upgrade in high-performance materials manufacturing.

With its unique multi-physics process control and optimization, the 310 APOLLO delivers up to 4x faster print speed and over 2x higher Z-axis strength (exceeding 40 MPa).

It features:

• Dual 3kg active-drying filament boxes
• RFID material recognition
• The newly launched INTAMQuality^TM traceability system

all working together to ensure process stability and production consistency.

On the software side, the INTAMSUITE NEO^TM slicing platform offers intelligent path planning and process adaptation, with precise control of temperature, flow, and path for reliable, repeatable high-performance material prints.

To meet growing industrial demands, the 310 APOLLO is now equipped with the new INTAMQuality^TM manufacturing quality assurance system. By recording everything from filament source to print parameters and full runtime logs, it creates a unique digital fingerprint for every printed part -- making full traceability and quality verification a reality. Whether for certification-grade delivery or multi-printer production consistency, INTAMQuality^TM enables confidence across batches and sites.

Built for Continuous Production: Unlocking Real Productivity with High-Performance Materials

Manufacturing is entering a new structural era:

• Humanoid robots require lightweight yet high-strength structural parts.
• eVTOLs demand components that are light, strong, and weather-resistant.
• Aerospace continues to push the limits of high-performance composites.

In these cutting-edge fields, PAEK materials are becoming indispensable. Yet achieving consistent material performance and production efficiency at scale remains the industry's "last mile" challenge.

This is where the 310 APOLLO delivers -- bringing high-performance material 3D printing from the lab to the production floor.

Designed as a system-level solution for industrial-grade continuous production, the 310 APOLLO represents a fundamental shift:

From high-performance printing, to high-performance material printing.

"We didn't just launch a faster printer -- we built an automated, traceable, and scalable manufacturing unit," said Charles Han, Founder and CEO of INTAMSYS.

"We've always believed that the true value of industrial 3D printing lies not only in speed or strength, but in its ability to reshape manufacturing logic. The 310 APOLLO is not just a technological leap -- it's a critical step forward in scalable, intelligent, and sustainable production for global manufacturers."

Jimmy Yuan, Product Director at INTAMSYS, added:

"Every design detail in the 310 APOLLO revolves around production-grade reliability -- from the dual-nozzle IDEX system to end-to-end data tracking. What we're delivering isn't just better print results -- it's trustworthy production capability."

The FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO redefines what's possible for FFF systems handling high-performance materials, not merely as a printer, but as a full-fledged production system empowering the smart factories of tomorrow.

INTAMSYS Launches the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO: Redefining Continuous Production with High-Speed, High-Strength PAEK 3D Printing

KANAZAWA, Japan, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kanazawa Biyori, a regional media platform rooted in Hokuriku, is committed to sharing the living culture of this region with a broader audience — not only its celebrated landmarks, but the traditions that continue to define what it means to call this city home. The Hyakumangoku Festival is the beating heart of Kanazawa: magnificent, historic, and unmistakably alive.

The Procession That Defines a City

The Hyakumangoku Festival is held each June in commemoration of Lord Maeda Toshiie's triumphant entry into Kanazawa Castle on June 14, 1583 — the moment that laid the foundation of the Kaga Domain and shaped the city as we know it today. Now in its 75th edition, the festival runs from Friday, June 5 to Sunday, June 7, 2026, transforming the center of Kanazawa into a stage for one of Japan's most spectacular civic celebrations.

At its heart is the Hyakumangoku Gyōretsu — a procession of breathtaking scale and pageantry that departs from the iconic Tsuzumimon Gate at Kanazawa Station and winds its way through the city to Kanazawa Castle Park. On Saturday, June 6, from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m., the streets of Kanazawa belong entirely to history brought to life.

This Year's Highlight: Where Living Tradition Meets National Drama

The defining draw of this year's festival is a convergence that happens once in a generation. Lord Maeda Toshiie will be portrayed by Daito Shunsuke, and his consort Omatsu-no-Kata by Sugai Yuka — both currently starring as Toshiie and Matsu in Toyotomi Kyodai!, the 2026 NHK Taiga Drama.

For those unfamiliar with the format: the NHK Taiga Drama is Japan's most prestigious historical drama series, broadcast annually by the national public broadcaster since 1963. In Japan, historical figures are often remembered — and reimagined — through the lens of whoever portrayed them in a given year's Taiga. To see these actors step from the screen into the streets of Kanazawa, embodying the very figures who built this city, is an experience with few parallels.

A Procession of Power and Craft

The Gyōretsu is more than a parade — it is a living tableau of Kaga culture in motion. Music corps perform at three points along the route, filling the streets with sound and energy. The Kaga Tobi — the storied firefighters of the Edo-period domain — take to the street four times, their acrobatic ladder performances drawing gasps from the crowd. The thunderous Kaga Shishi lion dance, a designated cultural property of Kanazawa, moves through the procession with an energy that is as ancient as it is electric.

This year, the procession once again incorporates the Kiriko float parade from Noto — a powerful gesture of solidarity with the region's ongoing recovery from the 2024 earthquake. The sight of Noto's lantern floats moving through the streets of Kanazawa carries a meaning that no words can fully capture.

Three Days of Living Culture

The festival extends well beyond the Gyōretsu. Across three days, a series of events deeply rooted in Kanazawa's cultural identity are planned. The Hyakumangoku Takigi Nō is set to bring Noh theater to life under the open sky, performed by firelight in the grounds of Kanazawa Castle Park — a hauntingly beautiful tradition. The Hyakumangoku Chakai tea ceremony will offer visitors a window into the refined world of Kaga's tea culture. And as night falls, the Hyakumangoku Odori Nagashi fills the streets with dance, open to all — no experience, no affiliation required.

An Invitation

Kanazawa Biyori shares this festival not simply as a seasonal event, but as a window into the soul of this city — a place where history is not preserved behind glass, but performed, danced, and lived each June. Whether you come to watch or to join, the Hyakumangoku Festival is Kanazawa at its fullest.
