3D Platform’s WorkCenter 500 provides an affordable option for large-format fused filament fabrication (FFF). The 3D printer offers a build volume measuring 1,400 × 2,800 × 700 mm.
The printer provides the option of either pellet or filament extruder(s), or both. These high-volume extruders offer throughput rates ranging from 1.3 kg/hr. to more than 7.5 kg/hr. Customers can use a variety of open-market filament/pellets and software that can deliver savings ranging to 90 percent compared to closed-system machines, the company says.
