BigRep’s large-format 3D printers and 3D printing filaments are suited to high-performance engineering applications. To meet the diverse range of needs of these applications, BigRep’s filament range spans several materials with vastly different uses.
BigRep has a diverse material portfolio, comprising filaments optimized for its large-format 3D printers. The filaments are engineered to meet a variety of needs, whether you’re looking for a low-cost prototyping material like PLA, or an engineering-grade thermoplastic that can withstand more rugged use like HI-TEMP CF. In this article, we’re taking a closer look at one of BigRep’s most popular materials, Pro HT.
In this article we’re covering all you need to know about BigRep PLA, an easy-to-use filament that has been engineered to address the specific conditions and challenges of large-scale 3D printing. We’ll be looking at the material’s benefits, material properties, best practices, application areas, and more.
Either when you are buying a printer or using a platform, strong customer service is integral to the broader success of your 3D printing project.
Advances in the 3D printing of living tissue – a field known as bioprinting – puts within reach the possibility of fabricating whole organs from scratch and implanting them in living beings. A multidisciplinary team from Stanford received a federal contract to do just that.
