BigRep Launches ALTRA 280 Industrial 3D Printer

BigRep, an organization centered on large-scale fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers, has expanded into high-temperature additive manufacturing with the launch of the ALTRA 280. The most recent industrial providing from BigRep includes a totally enclosed high-temperature printing atmosphere, an open materials system suitable with BigRep and third-party filaments, and a large construct quantity. The ALTRA 280 could be a answer for industries requiring high-performance supplies, together with aerospace, army and protection, and automotive. 
 
The ALTRA 280 will debut in North America on the RAPID+TCT present in Los Angeles, CA, on June 25, 2024, and might be obtainable throughout the area beginning July 2024.   

The brand new ALTRA 280 updates the corporate’s portfolio to incorporate high-temperature FFF 3D printing, increasing into new functions that may print the total vary of ordinary to high-performance polymers. The highlights of the ALTRA 280 are the heated 500x700x800 mm construct chamber able to reaching temperatures as excessive as 180°C, as much as 4 DSX extruders for uninterrupted manufacturing, and the automated quick-start function for 3D printing on the contact of a button.

“We’re proud to increase our portfolio in direction of high-performance filament extrusion with our open system strategy, thereby aiming to double the addressable market of our options with the know-how from HAGE3D, our just lately introduced deliberate acquisition,” says Dr.-Ing. Sven Thate, managing director of BigRep GmbH. “For our American clients, the ALTRA 280 is taken into account a game-changing industrial AM answer throughout all temperature ranges, unlocking huge thermoplastic materials choices.”  
 
Key options of the ALTRA 280 embody:

• Giant-scale 3D printing: A construct quantity of 500x700x800 mm (quantity of 280 liters) designed to provide intricate fully-fledged prototypes, production-, and end-use elements.  
• Excessive-temperature capabilities: Prints with high-performance supplies comparable to PEI 9085 and PC, enabling the manufacturing of robust, light-weight elements. 
• Uninterrupted Productiveness: Geared up with as much as 4 DSX extruders, the ALTRA 280 options twin extruders and two backup extruders.
• Absolutely Automated Fast Begin: The ALTRA 280 is designed for straightforward operation, with totally automated calibration and pre-heating processes.
• Heated Vacuum Print Mattress: Engineered for safe adhesion of the half and layer adhesion, even for giant intricate prints.

“We imagine that the ALTRA 280 will remodel the best way producers strategy additive manufacturing, particularly within the aerospace, army, and automotive segments, the place high-performance elements are essential,” says Thomas Janics, managing director of HAGE3D GmbH.
