BigRep ALTRA 280 - HIGH PERFORMANCE FOR ALL INDUSTRIES
AEROSPACE-GRADE COMPONENTS
Innovate and achieve certifications in the aerospace industry with the ALTRA 280. This printer uses high-performance materials to create robust, safe, and lightweight components. Its precision, consistency, and high resolution drive innovation throughout the design process.
FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPING
Validate designs and test parts before final production. The open-material system offers flexibility with a wide range of filaments, allowing for accurate replication of final parts. Speed up iterations, reduce fabrication costs, and bring products to market faster.
DURABLE TOOLING
Create affordable rapid tooling for your factory floor, such as jigs and fixtures. The high-temp capabilities enable the production of strong, geometrically complex tooling in-house, surpassing traditional methods and allowing for on-demand tool printing.
Features
Peak performance. Tremendous Build Volume.
ACCURACY IN LARGE SCALEThe Spacious Build Chamber
With a build chamber of 500 mm x 700 mm x 800 mm (280 liters volume), the ALTRA 280 produces intricate prototypes, production, and end-use parts. Its welded frame, ball screws, and servo motors, akin to CNC technology, ensure the precision and repeatability expected from an industrial machine. Enjoy unrestricted print freedom, consistently producing precise parts without size limitations.
HIGH-TEMPERATURE CAPABILITIESHigh-Performance Parts
The build chamber and print bed heat up to 180°C, supporting high-performance materials like ULTEM 9085 and PEEK. During printing, the build chamber functions as a tempering system, enhancing the mechanical properties, functionality, and dimensional stability of parts
UP TO FOUR RELIABLE DSX EXTRUDERSUninterrupted Productivity
The ALTRA 280 features up to four DSX (Direct Synchronized Extruders) capable of printing at 450°C, producing up to 20kg in one cycle. Achieve complex prints with dual extruders and ensure seamless production with two backup extruders. Each DSX includes integrated cooling channels and multiple sensors for optimal monitoring and control.
FULLY AUTOMATED QUICK STARTPrint at the Push of a Button
Starting up is easy with the ALTRA 280's numerous automatic functions, including print bed calibration via topology measurement and automatic compensation. Built-in sensors ensure 24/7 operation, while an HD wide-angle camera allows real-time remote monitoring.
HEATED VACUUM PRINT BEDSecure Print Adhesion
Enhance print success with the vacuum print bed and material-specific surfaces. Prints remain secure during production yet are easy to remove afterward. Heated up to 180°C with embedded electrical wiring, the vacuum print bed maintains uniform temperature distribution for accurate prints and superior layer adhesion, even with large intricate parts
EVEN TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTIONFor Optimal Mechanical Performance
Consistent temperature is crucial for high-quality prints and high-performance parts. The ALTRA 280's print bed reaches up to 180°C, maintaining uniform heat distribution. Airflow control technology ensures precise tempering, resulting in parts with consistent mechanical properties, avoiding delamination and inconsistencies seen in other 3D printers.
