3D PRINTER MATERIALS FOR YOUR APPLICATION
The BigRep PRO is designed to print engineering-grade and fiber-reinforced materials as well as bio-polymers and water soluble support. The PRO is 3rd party material compatible, meaning you can print with BigRep materials as well as other brands.
Suitable for a wide range of applications, BigRep's portfolio of industrial 3D printer filaments includes affordable, general use materials to high-quality, engineering-grade materials for demanding industrial applications in a variety of colors with spool sizes up to 8 kg, so you won't need to exchange spools during large prints.

INDUSTRIAL 3D PRINTING
The 1m³ Build Volume
The PRO continues BigRep’s tradition of innovation in large-format 3D printing. Designed to print massive, industrial parts, as well as batches of smaller parts, its fully enclosed one cubic meter build volume ensures consistent print temperatures and safety from hazards on the factory floor. Its glass doors allow visual monitoring throughout the creation of demanding, geometrically complex parts in full scale.
SPEED & PRECISION
The Revolutionary MXT® Extruder
The proprietary Metering Extruder Technology (MXT®) achieves high speed and precision in thermoplastic extrusion. This one-of-a-kind extruder enables ultimate control of engineering-grade material deposition, ensuring the high-quality parts that meet the demands of industrial professionals at speeds up to 230 g/h, 3x faster than traditional extrusion technology.
MATERIAL VERSATILITY
The Fiber-Ready ACE Extruder
BigRep's Advanced Capability Extruder (ACE) expands the material capabilities of the PRO while still reliably delivering quality prints with speed and precision. ACE is a direct drive extruder, perfectly equipped for fiber reinforced materials such as BigRep's HI-TEMP CF. With ACE you can print large-format, strong parts 50% faster than other large-scale printers.
HIGHLY RESPONSIVE
The Bosch Rexroth CNC Control System
An advanced Bosch Rexroth CNC motion-control system elevates the PRO’s responsiveness for unquestionable speed, precision, and repeatability. Local data collection for real-time monitoring with 32 integrated sensors ensures optimal print process and reliability. Fleet management is made easier with live webcam view of print progress. The industrial-grade BOSCH Safe Logic 2-channel failsafe system safeguards users by instantly stopping the portal if the enclosure is opened during printing.
ROBUST & STABLE
The Precision Motions Portal
The PRO's massive 1m3 build volume is supported by its custom-built, heavy duty gantry engineered for high speed, fast acceleration, and heavy payloads. Its robust welded frame eliminates vibrations during printing assuring smooth movement of the extruders that glide along a reinforced double rail system. Sturdy Bosch servo motors power the precise movement with internal encoders able to calculate real-time location of the print head and self-monitor for position accuracy.
SEALED FILAMENT CHAMBER
The Dry Material Storage
The PRO’s environmentally sealed filament chamber ensures that stocks of all materials, including engineering-grade and water-soluble, can be well maintained and remain consistently dry in ideal operating condition for reliable, repeatable, and quality printing. Well preserved filaments will help reduce extruder clogging and avoidable wear on components to reduce downtime and extend the life of your machine.
“The first prints that we ran lasted 17 days. Since then, we have been running the PRO non-stop to print parts and components using its large capacity, high resolution and accuracy throughout the entire process. ”
