Large Format 3D Printer at Rapid + TCT

We took a look at Bigrep's large format 3d printer at Rapid Event 2018 aka Rapid + TCT. Bigrep's large format 3d printer has a 1m x 1m x 1m build area and prints all the basic fdm materials and filament.

Rapid + TCT 2018 took place in Fort Worth, Texas at the Fort Worth Convention Center. The latest and greatest additive manufacturing technologies were displayed throughout the event. The conference presents the most advanced manufacturing tech and leaders in the industry. The event is held by SME and The TCT Group. SME promotes advanced manufacturing technology and develops a skilled workforce. TCT provides a magazine for design to manufacturing innovation.
@0:01 Bigrep show the Bigrep1. To achieve the best possible conditions for printing large objects, a lot of new features have been introduced to the latest version of the BigRep ONE large-scale 3D printer. The modular print heads have been completely redesigned, in combination with a larger flexible spool holder, this provides the ideal 3D printer for manufacturing large-scale objects. The open format allows the user to have the best view for monitoring the print process. Our optional New Power Extruder with 0.6, 1 and 2 mm nozzles can print 60% quicker making the BigRep ONE one of the fastest large-scale 3D printers on the market. The 0.6 mm nozzle brings you the most detailed and precise BigRep ONE prints to date.
@1:06 Bigrep shows their Bigrep Studio
With the BigRep Studio, we introduce a new dimension of large-scale 3D printing. The print volume of 500mm x 1000mm x 500mm provides space for large objects, while also enabling high precision and faster printing. The size of the BigRep Studio is optimal for setting up the printer in almost every location.
► Large build volume (500 mm x 1000 mm x 500 mm)
► Print speed of up to 140 mm/s at layer height 0.1 mm
► Acceleration for travel moves up to 1000mm/s²
► Single and dual extruder configuration, with a direct all metal hot-end for printing with flexible materials!
(and of course our other high quality filaments PLA, PETG, Pro HT and further materials coming soon …)
► New user-friendly interface (GUI) with new features:
• Resume print after power failure!
• Remote load, control and monitor prints from external device via webcam!
• Optimized for Simplify3D (factory files included, also compatible with Cura and Slic3r)

Finally, a USEFUL 3D printer!

The benchy for this is a row boat for two.

[@mannycalavera121]

jesus the print time at those speeds..

[@keronGR]

yeah, 35 hundred ( 3500 ) or 35k ( 35000 ) to print at 25mm/sec.....

[@mr89firebird]

No way that machine is only 3500.

[@keronGR]

Fastest 3d printer for industrial use is titan robotics printer with moving bed. That thing prints at 140mm’s with a print bed larger of 600x600

[@Z-add]

Who is making control boards and extruders for industrial 3d printers.

[@AtomFlipper]

Still far off a Star Trek Replicator,
Which theoretically is an instant 3d Printer that can print anything from any element.
What an exciting time to be alive, to watch this technology evolve into taking over the worlds manufacturing of products... there will be a time in the future of abundance.
Also remembering 3d Printers will one day accept all kinds of recycled matter,
Partly solving some of the environmental issues we are currently facing...
It's a good beginning. But you ain't seen nothing yet.

[@mgrimes1907]

My printer is 910mm X 520mm X 850mm printing at 60 mm per sec.

[@3DDistributed]

Nice machine! I like how the gantry moves in z axis instead of the bed.

[@JShel14]

It's really interesting to me that they don't use z-axis linear guides. They just rely on those big @ss lead screws.

[@maiorciprian]

They use smooth rods for Z

[@glennedward2201]

Linear guides are so much better. They have a well built printer either way but for that price id expect hiwin rails and ballscrews.

[@DayanandanEyyiappadi]

Cost told 35 ?

[@keronGR]

can we have a printing video of that elephant sized 3d printer running on faster speeds?

[@zackfreeman8025]

Check out the BAAM from thermwood.

[@keronGR]

????? All I found is LSAM thermwood... Are you talking about the same cnc/ 3d printer?

[@zackfreeman8025]

@@keronGR yep, sorry. Wrong acronym

[@zip7806]

I hop you Guys tool a 100 Photos of there machine for References.

[@howarddibble3857]

Wouldn't it be better if a print can change its tips while printing then you have more control on your print? Or even one tips that flax to any size?

[@NamLeLa]

And it warped

[@alphasxsignal]

This stuff is all to slow.

[@GambitChannelcomix]

for what? full size print'll took eternity!
