Compared with traditional manufacturing methods, industrial 3D printers provide manufacturers with many conveniences, such as reducing costs and supply chain risks, shortening production cycles, allowing more design iteration cycles, and enabling customers to directly solve problems with production parts. Moreover, using the Piocreat large-scale additive and subtractive machining center, users can print strong, lightweight functional parts from composite materials to replace metal and wood parts.

For factories, the introduction of large-scale industrial 3D printers, which can print high-performance materials and glass fibers to increase strength, not only opens up larger-scale applications, but also adds new uses and advantages, creating new environments for production, such as :

Automation - end arm tool, sensor holder;

Continuous Improvement (CI) - Lid, Ergonomic Tray;

Fixtures - assembly jigs, custom hand tools;

Complete the final parts - mounts, covers, plugs, handles, bumpers.

3D printer: the larger the size, the better!
Industrial 3D printers have different print sizes and speed sizes. Although a small industrial 3D printer may be sufficient to print small parts in a smaller volume, having a large-size, high-power 3D printer can bring more benefits to manufacturers:

Improve speed and accuracy - large size industrial 3D printers can print components faster than small 3D printers. Compared with our small Ender 3D printer, G40 is the latest large-size 3D printer. Its printing speed is 8 times faster than that of the existing printer, and its printing size is almost 4 times that of G12, its second largest printer.

In addition, G40 is a processing equipment integrating additive manufacturing and milling. Not only printing parts faster, but also higher precision, quality and reliability. And you can print large models.

Batch print small size parts - save a lot of time by printing smaller parts in batches rather than individually. With a reliable large-size 3D printer, the use scenario of AM (rapid prototyping) can be expanded to meet the requirements of production parts.

Direct printing and assembly of large-size parts - when manufacturing large parts, one-time printing and forming is realized, instead of splicing several smaller parts after printing. One-time forming saves a lot of time for manufacturers.

For many common industrial 3D printing applications, such as large bending die, its size is too large. Without a large-size 3D printer, it is impossible to achieve one-time printing, so these parts require additional time and effort, such as:

1.) decompose the components into separate designs according to the assembly plan;
2.) initiate multiple printing jobs;
3.) assemble components into final functional parts.
