One problem with 3D printers is that they are small in size. Consequently, these printers are quite handy for printing small items such as toys, furniture, decorations, or assembly parts.

However, to produce a large-scale product requires a lot of prints to be assembled together. A printer called BigRep One was produced to solve this problem.

Built on an open source platform, the BigRep One 3G printer is capable of printing objects up to 1,147x1000x1188mm, enough to print small pieces of furniture without the need to assemble multiple prints. .

The BigRep One printer is made from an aluminum frame with a print resolution of about 100 microns (0.1 millimeters). At the same time, BigRep One can also be printed on a variety of materials, including plastic and nylon.

In addition, BigRep One works well on Laywood, a material that fits between wood fibers and polymers to create durable wood furniture and furniture.

The unique printer BigRep One was developed by two artists Lukas Oehmigen and Marcel Tasler in Berlin and was recently exhibited at the 3D PrinShow in New York. The printer is expected to hit the market in March or April with a proposed price of $ 39,000 ($ 819 million).
