Large-format additive manufacturing enables a big – picture perspective on 3D printing. The increase of the build size widens the possibilities for builds.

 .

For example, users can produce bigger parts, taking away the limitations of more standard -sized build envelopes. Simultaneous 3D printing of a large part means that less time is taken designing around several print jobs and assembling multiple parts, and more time is spent ensuring that those parts fulfill requirements.

 .

Choosing to adopt large-format 3D printing can be a huge step but can deliver potentially massive results. Begin by looking into the reasons why 3D printing is desired, what the company goals are, and what is required to meet those needs.

Getting Started

 .

As with all new technology, installing large-format 3D printing starts with investigation. The initial question may be simple: what does “large-format” mean? For 3D printers, “large” is a relative term. Most extrusion-based (FFF) […]
