Large-format 3D printer manufacturer BigRep has introduced the upgraded BigRep ONE.5 large-format Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printer at Formnext 2024.
According to the company, the ONE.5 ‘builds on the success’ of the BigRep ONE by introducing new features and a revised pricing structure, aiming to appeal to a broader range of users in large-format 3D printing.
Designed to maintain its reputation for durability and reliability, it is equipped to handle the production of large, geometrically complex parts up to 1000 x 1000 x 1000 mm. Key updates include advanced dual PEX2 extruders, improved material compatibility, an updated user interface, and semi-automated features intended to enhance usability and efficiency.
Visitors to Formnext 2024 can explore the ONE.5 firsthand at Hall 12.1 – Booth E139, where live demonstrations will highlight its advanced features and capabilities.
Enhanced features for efficient and versatile printing
Among the standout features is the inclusion of dual PEX2 extruders, delivering a flow rate up to 40% higher than the earlier model. These extruders support a wider range of materials, from soft filaments to carbon-fiber-reinforced options. A durable diamond nozzle setup ensures long-term reliability, while the ability to print in both Single and Twin modes allows for faster and more cost-efficient production processes.
Further improvements include a magnetic SWITCHPLATE print bed, available in two variants to support diverse filament types. Coupled with an inductive sensor and a semi-automatic leveling system, this upgrade ensures optimal adhesion and consistent quality while reducing the effort required for calibration.
Remote operation capabilities have also been enhanced, offering features like print monitoring via a built-in webcam, parameter adjustments during active jobs, and automatic recovery from power interruptions. These updates provide users with flexibility and greater control over their printing projects.
Filament storage receives a boost with the addition of the Keep Dry Box, designed to protect materials from moisture and dust. With the capacity to hold standard spools, including two up to 8 kg each, and an integrated sensor to pause printing when filament runs out, the system is tailored to handle the demands of large-scale production.
