BigRep‘s Studio G2 printer is designed to print engineering-grade materials and large-format objects developed for industrial applications.
According to the company, the Studio G2 printer offers optimal speed and resolution in large-format additive manufacturing (AM). The printer includes a fully enclosed and insulated build envelope of 500 × 1,000 × 500 mm, a fast-heating print bed reaching 100°C and a temperature-controlled filament chamber.
With its dual extruder equipped with two 0.6 mm ruby nozzles, the printer is said to be capable of producing detailed results with abrasive engineering-grade materials, such as PA6/66, at layer heights as low as 0.1 mm. Future materials to be released will include other engineering-grade materials like acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) and composite materials with carbon/glass fiber enhancement, the company says.
The Studio G2 is equipped with BigRep Blade slicer software, which provides accurate printing time and material use calculations to optimize productivity. The Studio G2 is designed to fit virtually any workspace, providing ease of use and accessibility.
