WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF AN INDUSTRIAL 3D PRINTER?
An industrial 3D printer saves time and money in product development, engineering, and manufacturing.
What sets an industrial 3D printer apart from an entry-level 3D printer is:
- High reliability
- Faster 3D printing
- High repeatability
- No assembly required
- Factory service
WHAT IS CONSIDERED A LARGE-FORMAT 3D PRINTER?
Large 3D printers are too big to fit on a desk and usually offer a build volume bigger than 500x500x500 mm.
Small or large 3D printers can be sorted into two categories:
- Desktop 3D printers
- Large-format 3D printers
WHAT IS A LARGE-FORMAT 3D PRINTER USED FOR?
Every day, new applications are being added to the already extensive list of applications 3D printers are used for. In additive manufacturing, three very common use-cases are:
- End-Use Parts
- Tooling / Fixtures
- Rapid Prototyping
