Large Scale 3D Printing with BigRep
29Apr

Print BIG – BigRep Is Reinventing The Wheel

The BigRep ONE's ability to print big opens up endless possibilities in the automotive industry. Print life-size prototypes and parts for bicycles, motorbikes, cars and more!

The wheels are always in motion at BigRep, to consistently push the boundaries of design for 3D printing. BigRep Product Designer Marco Mattia Cristofori wanted to develop an object to show the benefit of 3D printing for industrial use,  the BigRep wheel rim. An alternative to CNC-machining a prototype, he wanted to design the wheel rim prototype for large-scale 3D printing. Customisation of vehicle features is very popular. However, prototyping these custom parts is often expensive and time-consuming. With 3D printing it becomes a much easier process to design automotive prototypes for form checks and molding. (more…)

6 Things To Consider When Buying A Large Format 3D Printer

There are several factors to consider before purchasing a large format 3D printer, like a BigRep. Choosing your 3D printer isn't a 'one size fits all' situation, therefore it is important to consider and understand the following points;
  • Space needed
  • Electrical requirements
  • Materials needed
  • Software
  • Support
  • Budget
Let's take a look at the top 6 things to consider when buying a large format 3D printer and how Emvio Engineering can help ensure you get the most out of your investment! (more…)

Reliability Is Key When You Print BIG!

At Emvio, we're not afraid of letting our BigRep ONE run lights out

Those that have been using desktop printers since 2010, will know the issues that make 3D printing a chore. Grinding or clogged nozzles, bed adhesion, mechanical or electrical failures, the list goes on... For the most part, small 3D printers do small prints, but with BigRep, week-long prints are actually not uncommon. Of course, reliability is of utmost importance. The dread of a 5 day print failing on day 4 is real. However, BigRep machines are built using the very best components, and those components are assembled using best practices. Making these machines some of the most reliable on the market. (more…)

Canyon Prints 3D Bicycle Parts

Did you know that...

Canyon uses BigRep ONE large-format 3D Printers to iterate, optimise, and prototype new bicycle designs faster than ever. In this video you can see why Canyon chose to use a BigRep ONE.

Johannes Thumm, Senior Design Engineer at Canyon said; "We started a very exciting new project, where we wanted to rethink the way a mountain bikes needs to look."

He continued; "Thinking beyond the limits of traditional manufacturing and trying to see what's possible with new technologies like 3D printing." (more…)

3D printing obsolete machine parts

Being thrifty in the time of turmiol and economic difficulty is imperative to survive as a company. This has been the case with Oyzo manufacturers Giokarinis of Samos. Every summer we return to Samos for around two weeks to return to our roots and the directors of the company are close personal friends. It was over a glass of ouzo that we started discussing that their factory would have to reduce production in as they were having issues with sourcing spare parts. Bearing in mind that the machines are mature and well used, the original manufacturer had sold up and there are capital controls in place, it was almost impossible to source and import parts. We took on the challenge to design and manufacture some of the more critical wear parts: the bottle neck grippers (more…)

Web Browser based CAD? OnShape seems to think its OK

It is not often that the CAD industry gets shaken up as much as it has in the past 12 months. First we had Autodesk Fusion 360 coming out with a Cloud based service and we have recently received word of OnShape.

The pedigree of OnShape could not be purer, it is spearheaded by the founders of Solidworks, an industry favourite for as long as I can remember.

Autodesk Fusion 360: Good start but not there yet

Some would say that finally there is a CAD/CAM package that is suitable for the small/medium enterprises that are looking to make it in the makers world. I must say that I am inclined to agree...partly. Autodesk Fusion 360 came along at the tail end of 2013 with significant power behind it and some of the high impact factor blogs and vlogs (like CNCCookbook and NYC CNC) talked about it at length.
