Large Format 3D Printing
- 3′ x 3′ build volume
- Cartesian FDM
- Duel MK8 Extruders
Problem :
Advanced manufacturing approaches to metal casting, thermoforming and mold making can utilize 3D printed parts for positive or negative impressions. Unfortunately, most 3D printers on the market today are inexpensive and do not have industrial qualities for larger production requirements.
Solution :
We designed a large build volume FDM 3D printer with some innovative features that set it apart from other 3d printers in the market.
