Meet BigPAM:

Our One-of-a-Kind, Custom Built, Large Format, FDM 3D Printer

Build Volume

This massive printer boasts a generous 800x800x900mm build volume to fit whatever you want to throw at it.

Extrusion Rate

Our machine extrudes material at an impressive rate of 75mm³/s, That's a huge jump from our traditional low detail rates of 20mm³/s

Nozzle Diameter

Thanks to this high extrusion rate we can print with up to a 3mm diameter nozzle, drastically reducing print time.

Available Materials

We're offering PLA prints for prototyping, and PETG-CF prints for large format general engineering purposes.

Larger Lines = Faster, Stronger Prints

Our large format machine allows for faster print times, significantly reducing project turnaround on big prints. The increased layer thickness from the larger nozzle enhances the structural integrity of the prints, making them more durable and robust compared to those produced with standard 3D printing nozzles sizes. This machine is ideal for creating resilient prints and is perfect for industries looking for large-scale rapid prototyping and strong end-use parts.

Print Monitoring with The Power of AI

Large prints take a long time, so we've integrated AI technology to monitor them in real time. Prints are monitored by state of the art cameras and software for possible failures. With this, we can act fast and correct any potential problems to keep your order on track.

Post Processing Brings Your Ideas to Life

We offer a range of post processing services to bring your ideas full circle. From sanding to painting, we can take your large scale model and polish it up for your specific needs.

Our team has extensive experience with finishing techniques including smoothing, sculpting, painting, sealing, heat-set inserts and even adding lights and automation to objects!

Powered by Our Custom Built, BondTech / Slice Engineering Hot End

Our cutting-edge 3D printer is engineered with a combination of the Mosquito Magnum Plus and the Bondtech LGX Pro extruder, setting a new standard for precision and versatility in 3D printing. This hot end setup is equipped with a high-resolution nozzle camera and custom-designed cooling ducts, ensuring optimal print quality and consistent material flow. An integrated bed leveling probe enables advanced mesh creation, resulting in unmatched layer adhesion and accuracy. With the capability to accommodate nozzle sizes ranging from 0.4mm to an impressive 3.0mm, our machine offers unparalleled adaptability, allowing users to tackle a diverse range of printing tasks, from intricate models to robust, large-scale projects. This powerful combination not only enhances performance but also expands creative possibilities, making it ideal for both professional and hobbyist applications.

A Multi-Material Unit That Does More

BigPAM is equipped with one of the top multi-material units (MMU) on the market today. With 8 individual filament channels, we can produce large format prints in full color, or just run up to 24kg of filament without needing to manually swap spools!

Continuous Filament

Because BigPAM has such a large build volume, we need A LOT of material to print big things! Using the multiple channels of the MMU, we can load up to 8, 3kg spools of the same filament at a time. That's 24 possible kilograms of material to fit on our over 2.5 foot² build volume!

Up to 8 Colors at a Time

The 8 channel capacity of our unit allows for full color printing with any of the colors available from our filament supplier. We've utilized this powerful feature to create full color signs, figurines, and multiple color versions of the same piece.

Specialty Materials

There are lots of different filaments out there on the market, and they all serve a specific purpose. One of the useful ones we utilize for some prints is breakaway support material, which doesn't leave any visual marks on the finished print. The MMU allows us to run the part material alongside any specialty material with automated swapping.

Who Can Use Large Format 3D Printing?

All kinds of industries can utilize the benefits of large format 3D printing. We can print large prototypes for manufacturing, sculptures and statues for decoration, replacement parts for large machines, and so much more!
