The Ultimate High-Performance Machine
The ALTRA 280 is everything at once – a large, fast, reliable, high-temp industrial machine. It delivers complex production-quality parts without compromise.
The ALTRA 280 is a high-performance industrial powerhouse with an expansive build volume. It delivers unrivaled reliability with up to 4 state-of-the-art extruders. These controlled dual extruders with their respective backups are groundbreaking in additive manufacturing, delivering flawless prints every time. The high-temperature capabilities enable peak-level 3D printing for demanding applications from aerospace to defense to automotive industries.
Innovate and qualify for certifications in the aerospace industry. The ALTRA 280 prints with high-performance materials creating strong, safe, light-weight parts. The high precision, repeatability, and resolution enable innovations at all stages of the design workflow.
Before going into final production, test designs and validate parts. The open-material system gives you the freedom to choose from a wide variety of filaments and accurately replicate the final part. Iterate quicker, slash fabrication costs, and get your products to market faster.
Produce low-cost rapid tooling for your factory floor such as jigs and fixtures. Thanks to the high-temp capabilities, you can manufacture strong and geometrically complex tooling in-house. Overcome outdated traditional techniques and print tools on demand.
Peak Performance. Massive Build Volume
The Generous Build Chamber
With a build chamber of 500 mm x 700 mm x 800mm (build volume of 280 liters) it can produce intricate full-fledged prototypes, production, and end-use parts. Thanks to the welded frame, ball screws and servo motors like those found in CNC technology, ALTRA 280 achieves the accuracy and repeatability you expect in an industrial machine. Experience unrestricted print freedom, and reliably print precise parts without compromising on size.
High-Performance Parts
The build chamber and print bed reach up to 180°C, enabling applications using high-performance materials such as ULTEM 9085 and PEEK. During printing the build chamber doubles as a tempering system, enhancing the mechanical properties, functionality, and dimensional stability of the parts.
Uninterrupted Productivity
The ALTRA 280 is equipped with up to 4 DSX (Direct Synchronized Extruders) capable of printing at 450°C up to 20kg in one cycle. Achieve complex prints with dual extruders and ensure seamless production with two respective backup extruders. Each DSX is a masterpiece, with integrated cooling channels and multiple sensors for monitoring and control.
Print at the Push of a Button
Getting started is quick and easy with ALTRA 280 thanks to the numerous automatic functions including print bed calibration via topology measurement and corresponding automatic compensation. After a smooth start, many built-in sensors will secure your 24/7 operation while the HD wide angle camera enables real-time remote monitoring so you won't miss a thing.
Secure Print Adhesion
Improve your print success thanks to the vacuum print bed with material-specific print bed surfaces. Your prints stay put while still easy to remove after printing. Heated up to 180°C with embedded electrical wiring, the vacuum print bed's achieves extremely homogeneous temperature distribution. This ensures accurate prints and superior layer adhesion even while producing large intricate parts.
For Top Mechanical Performance
Consistent temperature is key for excellent prints and a requirement for high-performance parts. Reaching temperatures up to 180°C, the ALTRA 280 print bed maintains uniform heat distribution. The Airflow control technology tempers the prints precisely translating to parts with consistent mechanical properties where other 3D printers face delamination and inconsistencies.
The heart of all BigRep machines is the material system that’s open for innovation. Print with any compatible filament of your choice – BigRep’s or a 3rd party’s – and unlock new applications with the ALTRA 280.
