BigRep ALTRA 280
The ultimate 3D printer for high-performance applications
The BigRep ALTRA 280 is the most advanced industrial 3D printer designed specifically for demanding high-temperature applications. With an impressive build envelope of 500 x 700 x 800 mm and the ability to process a wide range of high-performance materials, the ALTRA 280 sets new standards in precision, speed and versatility. Equipped with the latest technology, including water-cooled multi-extruders, precise hotends and an intelligent monitoring function, this printer offers everything needed for the production of prototypes and end products.
- Large installation space: 500mm x 700mm x 800mm (x,y,z) for large format prints.
- High temperature capacities: extruder temperatures up to 450°C and build chamber temperatures up to 180°C, ideal for high-performance materials.
- Versatile material compatibility: Supports a wide range of BigRep and third-party materials such as ABS, ASA, PA12 CF and ULTEM 9085.
- Powerful extruders: Up to 4 water-cooled Direct Synchronized Extruders (DSX) for precise and efficient printing.
HIGH PERFORMANCE FOR EVERY INDUSTRY
