3D printing in Engineering Industry. Case studies

When engineering new products, 3D printing lets you test functional prototypes and finding solutions as you go, saving time and costs at every stage of product development.

Create low-volume batches of end-use parts with industrial-grade materials that closely match common injection-molded plastics.

Reduce costs by verifying a design before investing in molds and tooling that can become useless.

Turn conceptual ideas into functional prototypes in a matter of days and rapidly iterate designs in-house with no cost penalties.

IDEX technology: Same investment, double productivity

IDEX technology is the only extrusion system capable of printing with two heads independently. This system allows enabling Duplication and Mirror printing modes capable of printing two pieces at a time. Double printing capacity means double productivity, all with the same investment. Unlike any other dual extrusion machines on the market, when you acquire a Sigma or Sigmax machine, you get one printer but you double your productivity. All thanks to the IDEX technology.

Big volume with the biggest printing surface

The BCN3D Epsilon offers a large print volume of 420x300x400mm. The main advantage of this feature is its proportions, offering the largest printing surface on the market with an incredible height of 400mm. This allows to print the vast majority of parts that are manufactured.

High-performance materials for professional prototyping

BCN3D Filaments are manufactured by BASF and Mitsubishi Chemical, two of the most renowned chemical corporations in the world. Their reputation in the manipulation and production of plastic materials, along with the advanced plastic processing techniques, allows BCN3D to provide the filaments with more repeatability of the market. Each spool will consistently show the same quality and will always offer the same results.

3D Printing in Universities. Success case studies

In-house desktop 3D printing is used at universities for prototyping and functional testing, speeding up students creative process and turning conceptual designs into reality.

Provide students the capacity to learn in a more hands-on way.

Elevate student's critical thinking during a project development stage with physical realistic prototypes.

Encourages creativity and exposes students to professional tools used by a wide range of industries, preparing them for the coming future.

Reliable dual extrusion 3D printing with IDEX technology

IDEX architecture is the most reliable and neat solution on the market when it comes to dual extrusion technology. This is because the two extruders work independently when printing water-soluble supports or multi-material parts. While one extruder is printing the second one is parked, preventing the drip of molten plastic into the part. Conventional dual extrusion printers have both extruders together, which may result in filament threads left on the piece.

The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) unveiled the first 3D printed building in Spain. The project is located on the premises of Valldaura Labs (Horta Cerdagnola) and was created using a 3D printing system for construction. nine0003

The idea came from a team of IAAC PhD students and researchers who were looking for solutions to develop sustainable building. The TOVA building was built using one of the most sustainable and environmentally friendly building methods to date. The carbon footprint emitted during its creation turned out to be close to zero. This experience will become the basis for the construction of sustainable housing in the future, which can become a more affordable alternative to conventional housing. nine0003
