What are the best large scale 3D printers?
Large-scale 3D printers have been in the spotlight for quite some time. When we say large scale, we mean it– these machines can 3D print objects of over 1 square meter. They can be used to 3D print pieces of furniture, large prototypes, or several series of smaller objects in one go.
The professional 3D printers featured in our article are basically super-sized versions of ordinary desktop 3D printers. They almost all use extrusion 3D printing technology (FFF) and work the same way as regular desktop printers.
Our “largest 3D printers” selection does not include construction 3D printers, which fit into a different category.

The professional large-scale 3D printers featured in our article can also be used to 3D print large prototypes. This enables businesses to test out their products before actually launching production. Industrial designers and engineers are able to perform more revisions in significantly less time.
They can test their future products extensively while at the same time reducing the production-to-market time.
3D printing production series
Large-scale 3D printers don’t have to exclusively 3D print large objects and prototypes. Their huge build platform also enables 3D printing big series of smaller objects.
Customized large scale 3D printers
There are several manufacturers that mainly offer tailored solutions rather than standardized 3D printer models. Tobeca, for instance, is a French team that builds 3D printers from scratch and is based entirely on their customers’ needs and requirements.
US-based Erectorbot also provides on-demand builds, although they do have a lineup of standard models. Then there’s Colossus, a company in Belgium that constructs 3D printers within shipping container-like structures. CNC Barcenas, a Spanish manufacturer, also offers tailored, large-scale 3D printers with a range of options to choose from.

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.

3 Unique Features of New WorkCenter 3 Large Format 500D Printer
Platform 3D has released a fairly large 3D printer, the WorkCenter 500 - and the build volume of this beast is significant, 1400 x 2800 x 700mm (55″ x 110″ x 27″) , or 2.7 cubic meters (95 cubic feet) of volume. It should be able to meet the needs of many large parts manufacturers.
500D Platform WorkCenter 3 Large Format 3D Printer I know what you're thinking, this is another oversized desktop 3D printer. Do you think? Well, you might be surprised. The WorkCenter 500 has three very interesting features that 3D Platform has developed over the past few years to build and sell large format 3D printers.
nine0003 Several high speed extruders available for 3D Platform WorkCenter 3D printers
1. PETG and nylon materials
One of the innovations is the type of materials that can be used. More primitive large format 3D printers of this type can only work with PLA material due to its low tendency to warp. 3D printing a "deformed" material like ABS has been exceptional.
ABS is still out of the question for the WorkCenter 500, but they tell us they can successfully 3D print PETG and some nylons, making the device a lot more useful than your typical giant PLA machine. nine0003 The huge 500D Platform WorkCenter 3 3D printer includes a massive aluminum build plate.
2. High speed 3D printing.
Typical large format 3D printers also suffer greatly from increased print times. If you think a 6-hour desktop 3D print is too long, then you'll be amazed at systems that simply scale up the same technology to print a week's worth of prints as a result.
This is simply unacceptable, and it turns out that the 3D Platform has done considerable work to overcome this barrier. nine0003
The company offers a variety of very advanced hot end extrusion systems that are specifically designed to deliver thermoplastic material much faster than a typical desktop hot end. The standard WorkCenter 500 output is 1 kg (2.2 lb) of material per hour, but there are optional larger extrusion systems that can increase the deposition rate to 6.8 kg (15 lb) per hour.
3D Platform WorkCenter 500 has a fairly powerful high speed extrusion system. nine0005Part of this increase in speed is due to the increased nozzle sizes that the 3D Platform can provide. Their product line includes 0.7mm, 1.4mm and 2.8mm nozzles.
To put this into perspective, you would need to change 1kg spools every 8 minutes and 49 seconds. Obviously the 3D Platform uses much larger spools on this machine.
3. 6mm 3D Printer Filament
While the company does offer pellet solutions, one of the more interesting innovations is the 6mm filament shown in this image.
The enlarged diameter ensures there is enough material to feed into the thirsty high speed extrusion system. However, he is quite tough. You might be wondering how they can properly unwind such a thick thread so that it runs smoothly along the path of the thread. nine0003 Thick 6mm 3D printer filament from 3D Platform. Hard!
The answer is that the 3D Platform actually preheats this thick filament to make it slightly more pliable and thus able to successfully follow the filament's path.
One very intriguing suggestion we heard from the company is their interest in using this thick thread for other purposes. In particular, the diameter of the thick filament may allow for additives that could not be foreseen with thinner filaments. nine0003
One example of this advantage would be the inclusion of much longer fibers. Material suppliers today sell "carbon fiber" filament, which is essentially PLA or nylon mixed with the very common chopped carbon fibers. While these tiny segments do add strength, their effect is limited by their length.
But that may change with the introduction of the huge 3mm 6D Platform filament. They can potentially add much longer fibers and get a corresponding increase in the strength of printed parts. And it will work for any type of fiber, such as glass, which is often used in place of carbon fiber these days. nine0003
It's not part of their 3D printer configurator yet, but the 3D Platform WorkCenter 500 is available for around $200,000, which is 400 times the price of the $50,000 WorkCenter at $40,000.

Plumbing requirements (on some models)
Gather necessary tools and parts before installation. Read and follow the instructions that come with any of the tools listed here.
Required tools:
- Slate with a flat sting
- Horn 7/16 ″ and 1/2 ″ or 2 divorces
- Hague key 1/4 ″
- Drunk 1/4 ″
- Battery drill
Your freezer dealer has a kit with 1/4″ (6.35 mm) seated check valve, fitting and PEX tubing. Make sure the seat valve complies with your local plumbing codes before purchasing. Do not use piercing or 3/16″
seat valve (4.76 mm) which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
IMPORTANT:
- If you turn on the freezer before connecting the plumbing, turn off the ice maker.
- All installations must comply with local plumbing code requirements.
- Use PEX tubing and check for leaks. Install PEX tubing only in locations where the temperature will remain above freezing.
Water pressure
The water dispenser and ice maker require a cold water supply with a water pressure of 30 to 120 psi (207 to 827 kPa). If you have questions about water pressure, see the Troubleshooting section online or call a licensed qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply system, the water pressure in the system must be at least 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa). nine0064 If the water pressure in the reverse osmosis system is less than 40-60 psi (276-414 kPa), a booster pump can be inserted into the small tube from the cold water line to the reverse osmosis system.
If the water dispenser still does not supply water properly:
- Check if the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace filter if necessary.
- Let the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system fill up after heavy use. nine0069
- If your refrigerator has a water filter, it can further reduce water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter.
If you have questions about water pressure, see the Troubleshooting section on the Internet or call a licensed qualified plumber.
