A leading manufacturer of large-format 3D printing systems, BigRep has also developed a range of materials for its platforms, from classic filaments like PLA and ABS, to specialty support materials like BVOH, to engineering-grade thermoplastics like HI-TEMP CF.
A deep dive into the intersection of laser powder bed fusion and advanced automation for enhanced precision, speed, and scalability.
Electroforming is an Additive Manufacturing process specialized for the production of high-precision metal parts. Nickel, due to its expansive range of mechanical properties, aesthetic appeal, and resistance to corrosion, has become the most widely used material for this process. It not only enables the reproduction of extremely fine details but also permits the deposition of materials with high hardness. Electroforming technology allows depositing metal alloys to tailor specific material properties like mechanical or thermal characteristics.
