Nederlands (Nederland)BigRep ALTRA
Description
The BigRep ALTRA represents BigRep's high-performance entry in the large-format industrial FDM segment, designed for manufacturers and engineering teams that push the limits of additive manufacturing with demanding materials and complex large-scale geometries. Built for precision, speed, and material versatility, the ALTRA is a comprehensive production platform for sectors including aerospace, automotive, defence, and advanced industrial manufacturing.
The ALTRA is engineered to handle high-temperature engineering materials such as PEEK, PEI (ULTEM), carbon-fibre composites, and other advanced filaments that require elevated chamber temperatures and precise thermal management. This makes it ideal for producing parts that must perform under mechanical, thermal, or chemical stress in real-world production environments.
Key features
- High-temperature capable build environment supports advanced engineering materials including PEEK, ULTEM, and carbon-fibre composites.
- Large build volume enables production of full-scale, complex assemblies and structural components in a single print.
- Precision motion system delivers high geometric accuracy and fine surface detail for demanding industrial applications.
- Robust industrial frame construction ensures dimensional stability across the full build volume and over long print runs.
- Advanced thermal management maintains consistent extrusion and build environment conditions for repeatable results with sensitive materials.
- Part of the BigRep large-format ecosystem alongside the ONE.5 Classic, VIIO 250, and IPSO Dual Mode for different production configurations.
Compatible with: BigRep-compatible high-temperature and engineering-grade FDM filaments

Overcome outdated traditional techniques and print tools on demand.BigRep Altra 280: PEAK PERFORMANCE. MASSIVE BUILD VOLUME.
ACCURACY IN LARGE SCALE
The Generous Build ChamberÂFeaturing a build chamber of 500 mm x 700 mm x 800 mm (280 liters), the ALTRA 280 can create intricate prototypes, production, and end-use parts. Its welded frame, ball screws, and servo motors, similar to those in CNC technology, ensure the accuracy and repeatability expected from an industrial machine. Experience unrestricted print freedom and reliably produce precise parts without compromising on size.
HIGH-TEMPERATURE CAPABILITIES
High-Performance PartsThe build chamber and print bed can reach temperatures up to 180°C, allowing for the use of high-performance materials like ULTEM 9085 and PEEK. During printing, the build chamber also functions as a tempering system, improving the mechanical properties, functionality, and dimensional stability of the parts.
UP TO FOUR RELIABLE DSX EXTRUDERS
Uninterrupted ProductivityThe ALTRA 280 features up to 4 DSX (Direct Synchronized Extruders) that can print at 450°C and handle up to 20kg in a single cycle. Achieve intricate prints with dual extruders and maintain seamless production with two backup extruders. Each DSX is a marvel of engineering, equipped with integrated cooling channels and multiple sensors for precise monitoring and control.
FULLY AUTOMATED QUICK START
Print at the Push of a ButtonStarting with the ALTRA 280 is quick and easy due to its numerous automatic functions, including print bed calibration through topology measurement and automatic compensation. Once up and running, built-in sensors ensure secure 24/7 operation, while the HD wide-angle camera allows for real-time remote monitoring, so you never miss a thing.
HEATED VACUUM PRINT BED
Secure Print AdhesionBoost your print success with the vacuum print bed, featuring material-specific surfaces that keep prints secure yet easy to remove post-printing. Heated up to 180°C with embedded electrical wiring, the vacuum print bed ensures extremely uniform temperature distribution. This guarantees accurate prints and superior layer adhesion, even for large, intricate parts.
EVEN TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION
For Best Mechanical PerformanceMaintaining a consistent temperature is crucial for achieving excellent prints and high-performance parts. The ALTRA 280 print bed reaches up to 180°C, ensuring uniform heat distribution. Its Airflow control technology precisely tempers prints, resulting in parts with consistent mechanical properties, where other 3D printers may struggle with delamination and inconsistencies.
