January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
BigRep announces an updated version of its ONE large-format 3D printer and introduces the new PRO model with additional features for professional use.
BigRep says ONE offers a new transparent printer housing and automatic door sensors to help ensure a more constant printing environment.
The ONE now offers three print modes. Single mode is one ONE; Dual Mode is two ONE printers sharing the workload by enabling water-soluble support filament in the second printer. Dual Mode uses two filaments with varying mechanical properties for complex applications. BigRep says Twin Mode can double production by using both extruders to print the same part side by side.
The Berlin, Germany-based company says the open design ensures unobstructed print monitoring and easy access to the print bed. The POWER EXTRUDER (PEX) is fiber-ready and can be used for single or dual printing. It offers interchangeable nozzles at 0.6, 1.0 and 2.0 nm.
The company offers these add-ons for the ONE:
BigRep ONE is compatible with a variety of materials, including those from third-party vendors, in these material families:
The company says BigRep PRO is new for 2022. PRO takes the concept of a 1-meter build volume and adds various new features to make it an industrial strength printer.
PRO uses a gantry built by Precision Motors Portal and CNC components from Bosch Rexroth. It also features a hybrid software-hardware system called JUMPSTART, which BigRep says simplifies model setup and related build prep. JUMPSTART has three parts:
SWITCHPLATE is a removable, flexible print bed surface. It is available with several choices for coating, each optimized for use with specific materials. SWITCHPLATE is magnetic for easy placement, and heated for optimal adhesiveness and easier part removal.
MTX CONTROL SYSTEM is the software component for JUMPSTART. The company says it uses proprietary algorithms to improve gcode and offers higher accuracy and better quality than any previous BigRep model.
LOCKSTAGE is a simplified extruder mounting system; BigRep says using LOCKSTAGE avoids manual position calibration.
BigRep Pro works with the following categories of engineering-grade and carbon fiber-reinforced materials, as well as selected biopolymers and water soluble supports:
Both BigRep printers are available by contacting the company for referral to a local dealer.
