New Quick-Starting Industrial 3D Printer Delivers High-Temperature Performance at the Push of a Button
BigRep has entered the high-temperature additive manufacturing market with the launch of the ALTRA 280.
The latest industrial offering from BigRep is designed for the most demanding applications, featuring a fully enclosed high-temperature printing environment, an open material system compatible with BigRep and third-party filaments, and a massive build volume. The ALTRA 280 is positioned as the definitive solution for industries requiring high-performance materials, including aerospace, military and defense, and automotive.
The new ALTRA 280 updates the company's portfolio to include high-temperature FFF 3D printing, expanding into new applications that can print the full range of standard to high-performance polymers.
The highlights of the ALTRA 280 are the heated 500 mm x 700 mm x 800mm build chamber capable of reaching temperatures as high as 180°C, up to four state-of-the-art DSX extruders for uninterrupted production, and the fully automated quick start feature for 3D printing at the touch of a button. The machine is designed to ensure reliability and productivity and to enable flawless prints in every batch.
Dr.-Ing. Sven Thate, Managing Director of BigRep GmbH commented, "For our American customers, the ALTRA 280 is considered a game-changing industrial AM solution across all temperature levels, unlocking wide thermoplastic material options."
Key features of the ALTRA 280 include:
