Large Format Metal 3D Printer

For large metal parts, we use the Concept Laser X Line 2000R 3D printer. This machine provides a build volume of 400 x 800 x 500 mm. The X Line 2000R was designed specifically for the production of large, quality parts.

Large, 3D-printed parts are often used in industrial settings, aerospace applications, automotive, and energy.

Large Format Plastic 3D Printing

Stereolithography (SLA): Large SLA parts are built on 3D System iPros, which provide large build volume, while still producing detailed parts.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS): For large parts built in PA 12, we use sPro140 machines.

Bonding for Large Plastic Parts

Need a part that exceeds our machine's build volume? Part cutting and bonding is available for SLA, SLS, and MJF to achieve even larger part sizes.

Wall thickness needs to be sufficient for a good cut. For large geometries we need a minimum of a 0.1” (2.54mm) or 0.12” (3mm) thick wall to get a decent cut. Keep in mind, the thicker the better to achieve the best cut. If a part is too large to print in one piece then you will likely want to have thick walls regardless to overcome potential part warpage.

The cutting and bonding process will leave stark visible seams at the cut and bond interface. These can be unsightly, but may be allowable if you are using the part for function only. If the part is meant to be aesthetic, custom finishing can be performed to smooth, fill, prime, and paint the bond interface seams. Note, this is difficult to achieve with functionally clear parts.

Use Cases

Just like all types of 3D printing, XL 3D printing has its own strengths and tradeoffs. Users are constantly finding more applications for these gigantic machines so the XL 3D printing space is getting bigger and bigger. Let’s have a closer look.

When To Consider Large Scale 3D Printing

It takes a large scale 3D printer to print furniture, vehicle parts and architectural components. Obviously, size is the driving factor in choosing to use large-format printing but there’s more to it than that. Here’s a breakdown of some of the less-obvious considerations:

  • Unibody Parts – Often, producers are already able to fabricate their large objects through traditional methods of assembly but those objects would perform better if they were produced as one solid piece, something only a large 3D printer can do efficiently.
  • Weight Reduction – Large objects are usually made of wood, metal, or injection molded plastics. Printing the same objects in plastic will make them much lighter, especially when factoring that users can easily adjust the density infill of 3D printed objects. Consolidating large assemblies into single components also reduces weight by eliminating the need for fasteners like nuts and bolts.
  • Faster Development – The larger an object, the longer it takes to create and setup the tooling to fabricate it through traditional means. With 3D printing, there are essentially no setup steps so large prototypes are significantly faster to print than to make them any other way. A large object may take a while to print, but by cutting out the time-consuming tooling step, it may also be faster to do production runs of large objects, depending upon the specifics.
  • Reduced Cost – 3D printed large parts can be cost competitive with conventionally-made parts almost entirely because of the tooling costs of the latter. Consolidated assemblies usually cost less as well because fewer materials have to be sourced from different places.
  • Design Freedom – Using conventional manufacturing methods, many geometries are just not possible, such as internal channels and complex lattice structures. Many large objects, like furniture, benefit from such features and XL printers are the only way to realize those designs.

Large Scale 3D Printing Examples

  • Restoration and replication – XL 3D printing has become rather popular among paleontologists as the technology allows them to both study and preserve the delicate fossils that they regularly handle.
  • Furniture – Thanks to large-scale 3D printers it is now possible to create complex functional designs within a fully digitized process chain. From full-size prototyping to production of 3D printed furniture.
  • Display advertising – XL 3D printers are perfect for making high-quality, modern signage and lettering for retail stores, businesses and exhibitions.
  • Props – With the introduction of large scale 3D printers, designers can now produce enormous set pieces – overnight. 3D printing can help designers quickly manifest their wildest imaginations into the physical reality, and the Film & TV industry has taken notice.

Pellet Extrusion

One of the differences between desktop-sized machines and XL printers is the possibility to utilize pellet extrusion systems on the large printers. Pellet extrusion doesn’t use spooled filament as feedstock but instead uses the same virgin plastic pellets that are used for injection molding, which are much cheaper than spooled filament. This makes it easy to mix different plastics to make custom polymer blends and colors. These systems can also take shredded plastics as feedstock, which enables users to directly recycle water bottles, milk jugs, and failed and unneeded prints into new objects. Such a degree of a circular ecosystem can not be achieved with any other form of manufacturing.

That’s all great but what compels most users to opt for pellet extrusion is its blazing speed as the technology enables output of several kilograms per hour. Printing times scale exponentially with part size so having a high extrusion rate is pretty important for large-format 3D printing. One drawback of pellet extrusion systems is that they struggle with retraction, a feature that filament extruders employ to improve surface finish by pulling back on the filament during non-extrusion travel moves; retraction reduces or eliminates blobs, dots, and stringing on prints. Some XL printers can operate with both filament and pellet extrusion systems, allowing users to choose the best toolhead for their specific application.

Large Scale 3D Printing: FUSE Pavilion / Sudo Null IT News

Different people understand the word “scale” differently. For designers and entrepreneurs, scale is the number of parts in production. For architects and designers, scale is the size of a design and how it relates to the people who inhabit or use it.

Selective laser sintering (SLS) opens up the possibilities of large-scale 3D printing in both senses. Designers can tightly pack parts to produce many things at once, and each of these parts can be unique and meet specific needs because CLM eliminates the need for machining.

To test the possibilities of the technology, we decided to print a large pavilion that will serve as a meeting place for the 2017 FUSE conference. We used the Fuse 1 printer to create over a hundred building blocks, which were then assembled over four days to build a structure covering an area of ​​14 square meters. m.

If you can create any shape, what will you do?

All three-dimensional shapes can be abstractly represented as points, edges, and faces - this is how a printed object is represented in an STL file. Usually, we design at a high enough resolution so that when we print out a part of the right size, the mesh disappears. But what if we use the cellular structure to our advantage by automatically translating the STL into a structured system?

Each face intersection becomes a junction, each face becomes a strut, and each face becomes a panel. This gives us the freedom to create almost any form on a scale greater than human.

Making big items is fun, and we started development by simply making popular objects bigger. We immediately thought of enlarging the Stanford bunny and the Formlabs logo. But then we settled on creating something more tailored to a specific purpose, so we started developing a pavilion for FUSE 2017.

Structural design of the pavilion

We settled on a design developed from the Möbius strip equation rotated to form a closed pavilion surrounded by three wide canvases. The canvases become rigid and provide structural support when a space frame is added at the back.

This pavilion is the largest structure known to us, created from parts of Formlabs - at 4.5 m wide and 2.5 m high, it easily accommodates three people inside.

Depending on the size you need, structural issues can be quite important. Some shapes are self-supporting, being made of a certain size and material, others require additional support inside or outside to ensure rigidity and stability.

We have chosen materials that will help us create the desired structure, which protrudes quite a lot in all directions, and does not require support by cables or columns. The connectors were printed on a Formlabs Fuse 1 printer using Nylon 12, a lightweight, tough, and extremely strong engineering thermoplastic.

For spacers we have chosen hollow fiberglass tubes. The heaviest part of the structure was made of dense polyethylene (HDPE) panels, they weighed almost 45 kg. Before the panels were added, the entire pavilion could easily be lifted by one person.

How to turn STL into a structure?


We used Rhino to turn the basic NURBS surface into a 3D wireframe, giving the surface rigidity and structure. To create the shape, we used parametric design, which allowed us to choose the "resolution" of the structure (the number of faces and edges approximating it) on the fly. This is important because the resolution is closely related to the cost and complexity of the assembly.

In Rhino, we used the Grasshopper scripting system to create models of connectors and edge lengths. The module generation system works with a 3D mesh that can be drawn in any CAD editor. The script takes into account corners with adjacent faces to prevent our round edges from intersecting. It also assigns a part number, which is then automatically applied to each connector.


Download the Grasshopper script for Rhino

We have optimized the shape of the connectors to reduce weight and print efficiency. A solid outer round connector would be very strong, but it would use the most material and take up the most space at the same time. The inner connector uses little material and is the fastest to print.


Three options for pavilion connectors: external, optimized external, internal

Achieving the desired shape from the panels was much easier - we used Rhino's Unroll function to get a two-dimensional diagram from the surface for laser cutting. Having filled the folder with connector models, a list of edge lengths and panel drawings, you can start creating the structure.

How to create hundreds of unique parts?

All 144 Nylon 12 connectors up to 8 cm were printed in one run that lasted 36 hours. SLM technology does not require support for models, so the entire print volume can be used to print hundreds of unique parts at a time. We hope that our pavilion's connectors symbolize the future possibilities of custom-made mass production, in which each part can meet unique requirements.

Packing of three-dimensional parts

To accommodate 144 dissimilar parts in the print area, a technology is needed that is more complex than simply arranging them in stacks. Fortunately, using 3D packing algorithms, we can calculate an optimized layout of parts where they are all close together. This strategy has long been used to get the most out of SLP printers.

We have tried several ready-made solutions, with varying success. Netfabb uses Monte Carlo search for packaging, and has produced the best results of any commercial solution. We were able to fit about 50 nodes in Fuse 1. However, Netfabb had difficulty working with the non-convex geometry of our nodes, and the simulation took most of the day.

Ideally the connectors should be packed very close together so as to fill each other's concavities. To do this, we built a physical simulation on the Blender engine that packed the connectors into a virtual volume for printing. Nodes move and turn when they meet, and settle down when they don't overlap.

Parts tremble chaotically until none of them overlap each other. The entire simulation takes about a minute.

We greatly accelerated the simulation by using simplified intermediate models for collision calculation rather than the final high resolution models. This method does not guarantee a mathematically optimal solution, but it works well. More importantly, we were able to fit nearly three times as many nodes into the same working volume.

Already at the production stage, we used the virtues of parametric design to match the resolution of the parts to suit our time constraints and the overall project. The ideal resolution gives a good reproduction of the initial curved shape, allows you to fit all the details in the print volume, and makes it possible to complete the project in a week. By speeding up the packing of parts and increasing efficiency, we have improved flexibility in shaping the final structure.


Left – naive packing of convex parts, right – dense packing of non-convex parts.

After the conference, Michael Fogleman, now at Formlabs, released an open source solution for 3D part packaging. We will include automatic packaging in PreForm for Fuse 1.

High-volume printing in SLA

To fix the panels, we could use ready-made fasteners, but we were pressed for time by the schedule and geometric features of the design. We decided to make fasteners using laser stereolithography (SLA) from Durable Resin.


Over 500 fasteners printed in five passes on the Form 2

We used the Form 2 to quickly create 505 brackets in a few days. We designed the parts in CAD to stack, and left the task of generating the supports to PreForm, which allowed us to print 98 brackets in one pass. Tearing off the props was as easy as tearing perforated paper.

How to assemble a large set of parts?

The hardest part of creating a large modular structure is assembly.

Three people assembled the pavilion, working four hours a day. To facilitate the work, we sorted all the details in advance by projecting a three-dimensional diagram of the structure onto the wall. And still, the assembly was a test of spatial thinking and patience. Simply finding the part and finding its correct orientation took quite a bit of time.

Working with a small budget and a fairly modest structure, we decided to assemble the structure by hand. But what if someone wants to build a larger structure, or increase its resolution? Robots can help – machines are far better than humans at moving parts into precise positions, and architects are already starting to create structures suitable for robotic assembly.

The future of digital manufacturing and architecture

As designers, we envision a future where turning a digital spatial concept into a real structure is as easy and automatic as 3D printing. The system used to build the pavilion for FUSE can be applied to room design, furniture, sculpting, and more. Combining advanced design techniques with digital manufacturing devices like the Fuse 1, architects will have no barriers to realizing any form they can imagine.

3D printing services by category

3D printing of small objects from 2 mm to large models up to 3 m

Printing models by size is conditionally divided into two types: 3D printing of small objects is printing from 3 mm and 3D printing of large objects , the size of which exceeds 300 mm. This separation in 3D printing on a printer is due to the size of the 3D printing chambers. The 3D printer has a print chamber no larger than 3 meters in one of the dimensions. Therefore, printing a large model will be done in parts.

3D model prototyping

3D model prototyping is performed by printing on a 3d printer. In this case, the real physical object is realized in a digital model in programs for processing 3D data, and then transferred to 3D printing software. Read more >>

Master model making

You can order a 3D printing service if you want to make a master model. Master model is a primary, trial model, which is used as a model for the production of copies of castings. Making master models using 3D printing is the fastest and most resource-saving option for producing master models.

Spare parts and replacement of broken parts

3D printing of spare parts is a popular 3D printing service. Twize accepts orders for printing spare parts for small mechanisms, household items (printing battery covers, lambrequins for curtains, etc. ) or for 3D printing parts for restoration work. Read more >>

3D printing of the case

3D printing is ideal for the production of plastic or closed cases. The advantages of printing a case on a 3D printer: design flexibility and almost unlimited freedom of action, speeding up the workflow (3D printing of cases is the fastest prototyping method that allows you to make copies just in time). When printing a copy of a part on a 3d printer (cases, 3d copies of people, spare parts, etc.), the price does not depend on the number of products, but on the amount of material used (wax, photopolymer). To order printing a part on a 3D printer, write to us at [email protected].

Technologies and materials for printing on a 3D printer

The concept of "3D printing" includes several types of three-dimensional printing:

  • FDM printing - printing using a layer-by-layer application of a hot thread of wax, plastic or metal
  • SLS-printing is a selective laser sintering technology in which a powder material is melted using a laser along a precisely defined trajectory
  • Laser Stereolithography (SLA Printing) - Create 3D Models with a Special Liquid Resin Cured by Mercury Radiation
  • Multi-Jet Modeling (MJM for short) is the most popular 3D printing method, in which the product is recreated layer by layer using liquid polymer

You can order MJM or SLA printing from Twize.

Popular printers use various resins, composite powder, wax, metal alloy powders, and foundry sand as 3D printing material.

For 3d printing, Twize uses the following materials:

  • Wax - for making highly detailed investment casting master patterns. It is characterized by excellent meltability and accuracy, allows you to create products with perfect surface quality.
  • Photopolymer - has increased heat resistance, strength, finished products have a smooth surface. Suitable for rapid prototyping, creating burn-out master models, molds, samples for assembly testing.

3D printer applications

3D printing has found application in architecture, agriculture, engineering, education, medicine, heavy, general, medium and light engineering, culture, art, robotics, energy, aviation and space construction. Printing samples and prototypes, making missing parts, reverse engineering, and making merchandise are all 3D printing tasks.
