Massivit 5000 Expedites Large-Scale 3D Printing

Massivit 3D Printing Technologies, a provider of large-scale 3D printing systems, recently unveiled its industrial-grade Massivit 5000, showcasing its new capabilities, features and applications. The machine enables manufacturers and service providers across a range of industries to expedite lead times for manufacturing large parts, prototypes and tooling by up to 30 times the production speed of existing technologies, the company says.

Based on the company’s patented Gel Dispensing Printing (GDP) technology – already adopted across 40 countries for fast, cost-effective production of large parts – the Massivit 5000 offers new resolutions, materials and automation capabilities that address industry 4.0 needs, enabling production of large-scale parts within hours instead of weeks.

Dimengel 110 is a new printing material now available with the Massivit 5000, facilitating high- definition printing and greater fidelity to CAD designs. Two new resolutions enable print optimization according to layer thickness and speed requirements. The machine offers a Dual Material System that enables operators to print simultaneously with a different material on each head. New software automation features also enable operators to improve workflow efficiencies as well as easy monitoring and operations.

This latest addition to the Massivit 3D portfolio of large-scale 3D printers facilitates complex, large parts up to 145 cm × 111 cm × 180 cm (57" x 44" x 70") that instantly cure during the printing process, enabling ready-made parts straight off the printer without the need for postprocessing and with almost no required support structures.

Massivit 5000 facilitates large-scale printing across a broad range of applications for the automotive, marine, rail and scenic fabrication sectors. The company says this new additive manufacturing system will empower manufacturers to overcome existing limitations in production speed, size and complexity.
