What is the 3D print volume?

While CEAD produces some of the largest 3D printer solutions, there are still boundaries to the maximum and minimum size of the 3D printed parts. These boundaries are called the print envelope: and can be divided in the following categories:

CEAD Flexbot solutions employ robotic arms, and thus they offer a dome-like build volume, unlike traditional gantry-based solutions (which are supported by our partner Belotti). The standard 3D printer build volume dimensions are approximately 3 meters in length, 2 meters in width, and 3 meters in height (3 x 2 x 3 meters, L x W x H). The layout of your Flexbot Cell is carefully calculated by CEAD to get a much build volume out of your Flexbot system as possible

To expand the length of the 3D printer build volume and enhance reachability within it, CEAD offers the option of utilizing a linear track. The added flexibility of the track is not only beneficial to the 3D print volume but also allows for the optimization of robotic printing configurations so singularities can be avoided more easily.

CEAD offers a diverse range of pellet extruders that can be tailored to your specific needs. Our extruders come in various capacities, from 12 kg/hr to 80 kg/hr, and can operate at temperatures of up to 400°C. This wide temperature range enables the printing of a broad spectrum of thermoplastics, including materials like PP and PEEK.

 Selecting the ideal pellet extruder for your large scale 3D printing application is crucial. Our dedicated team of application and sales engineers is here to guide you through the selection process, ensuring you make the right choice based on your application's size and material requirements.

CEAD's pellet extruders are designed to accommodate a range of nozzle sizes, facilitating the printing of layer widths that meet your specific needs. Our E/S 25 series pellet extruders can print layer widths from 3 to 30 mm, while the E40/E50 extruders can achieve layer widths ranging from 6 to 44 mm.

Changing nozzles is a breeze and can be completed within minutes, allowing you to adapt to various printing requirements seamlessly.

In conclusion, CEAD Flexbot systems offer exceptional modularity and flexibility, enabling you to tailor your setup to suit your unique manufacturing needs. Whether you're looking to expand your 3D printer build volume, optimize pellet extruder selection, or fine-tune nozzle size, CEAD is your trusted partner in the world of LFAM.
