Meeting 3D lovers at Formnext, BigRep shared its innovations and new developments with the sector. Announcing its partnership with printer manufacturer Kühling&Kühling, BigRep presented new ‘BigRep Studio’.
Having an important share in 3D sector with industrial printers, BigRep draw interest at Formnext held between the dates of 15-18 November in Frankfurt. The company exhibited its new printer BigRep Studio to the visitors.
To demonstrate the uses for their technology, BigRep highlighted a particular use case, as UK-based CJR Propulsion uses their BigRep ONE 3D printers to take production of ship propellers down from a matter of weeks to just one weekend, saving an incredible amount of time and money. CJR has been recognizing the benefits of and fully embracing 3D printing technology in its process.
The new BigRep Studio 3D printer was developed following three years of experience in the industry, the company notes, and directly responds to demonstrated desire for the capabilities of a BigRep 3D printer without the massive footprint of the BigRep ONE. With a size of 1022 x 1660 x 1500 mm and a build envelope of 500 x 1000 x 500 mm, the smaller (250kg) BigRep Studio is set to solve an unexpected problems.
According to the company, “The BigRep Studio is the result of three years of industry experience and addresses market demand for a more compact BigRep product.” The BigRep Studio is currently available to pre-order and is expected to be ready to ship in Q2 2017. It will retail between €29,000 and €30,000.
The second announcement was that BigRep has signed an exclusive partnership with another German 3D printer manufacturer, Kühling&Kühling. Together, the two 3D printer companies have unveiled a brand new high-end 3D printer, the BigRep Tech. The BigRep Tech, a delta-style 3D printer, has been developed specifically for “high-end 3D printing solutions,” with applications in the medical technology sector.
