The Delta Printer is a 3D printer with Cartesian kinematics (Delta - kinematics) operating in the XYZ coordinate system. They differ from counterparts with other types of kinematics, higher printing speed, a fixed platform, which avoids “wobble” and the likelihood of distortion, and a large print height along the Z axis due to the vertical arrangement of the rails.

Anycubic Kossel and Anycubic Prediator, very popular in the Russian market, were discontinued and Anikubik did not offer any alternative. But to the delight of fans of fast and beautiful 3D printing, a young and successfully developing Chinese company FLSUN from Shenzhen took advantage of this and offered the market a line of 3D printers Delta .

high performance low cost industrial 3D printer

The CreatBot F1000 is an industrial size 3D printer with auto-elevating dual extruders, 1000x1000x1000mm build volume and other great features at a lower price than from other brands.

Large scale FDM 3D printers tend to be expensive, especially those that can print high quality models using professional grade materials. The high price tag of these massive industrial machines has kept many small businesses and manufacturers from using 3D printing technology to create prototypes or even make functional parts.

The new CreatBot F1000 aims to make large-scale 3D printing more accessible. How? Combining serious print volume and an impressive array of professional features with a secret ingredient – ​​affordability.

CreatBot F1000: large build volume and smart features

CreatBot F1000 offers a full cubic meter of build volume (1000 x 1000 x 1000 mm) plus:0028

  • Fully enclosed chamber with heating
  • Heated filament drawer
  • Built-in camera for remote monitoring
  • Servo Linear Guide

    • Accuracy and reliability make the CreatBot F1000 a terrific option for both industrial and professional users who need to print large prototypes or functional parts in one go.

    One cubic meter for 3D assembly is quite a lot. Such a space could allow 3D printing of small production runs or huge prototypes, or even mass production of standard quality products! Here is one of the happy customers of the F1000 3D printer:

    Besides the outstanding build volume, there are a few other big features that make this new big 3D printer a big deal (pun intended). The CreatBot F1000 features new dual auto-elevating extruders, a heated enclosed chamber, an auto-leveling system, and a built-in monitoring system that allows you to control your printing process with an easy-to-use app.

    This massive workhorse also features a fast build plate heat that, together with a heated chamber, produces incredible results from professional quality materials. Needless to say, the CreatBot F1000 sets a new standard in additive manufacturing and expands the material capabilities of large-scale FDM 3D printers, which in turn saves our customers significant time and money.

    The CreatBot F1000 has more than enough capacity for all real-world applications

    The CreatBot F1000 is designed to make 3D printing large-scale objects and prototypes as easy as possible. This industrial 3D printer is the answer to growing market demand across a range of industries.

    The F1000 has recently been printed with a large theme park snake head (pictured). The result was a high-resolution object, one meter high and weighing 35 kg. Can you imagine how this huge 3D printer prints such a heavy model 24/7? A nozzle with a diameter of 1.5 mm was used, it took more than 200 hours to print.

    There are many other examples of real work CreatBot F1000 in professional conditions. For example, one global supplier of advanced automotive systems and equipment used the CreatBot F1000 to design and develop molds for Audi, Volkswagen, Nissan, and GM car seats.

    This video shows how these forms are printed. The bowl and lid must withstand pressure up to 100 MPa, so 50% nylon carbon fiber materials were used for production. The final accuracy of the model was +0.1 mm and passed the rigorous tests often required in the automotive industry.

    The mold cover took 120 hours to 3D print and weighed 9 kg. The size of the part was 820 × 748 × 160 mm.

    The mold bowl took 200 hours and weighed 16 kg. The size of this part was 820 × 748 × 200 mm.

    After test runs, the performance of the CreatBot F1000 proved to be on par with or even better than some well-known brands of industrial 3D printers from Germany or the USA, with the difference, however, that this printer is more than three times cheaper than competitors. Someone now regrets buying expensive large-scale 3D printers instead of the impressively inexpensive and equally capable CreatBot F1000!

    Without a doubt, the CreatBot F1000 is the best choice for an industrial large scale 3D printer that can handle engineering grade materials.
