ALTRA 280

3DXTECH is now an official supplier of the ALTRA 280 from bigrep! The ALTRA 280 is a high-temperature, large-format 3D printer built for producing functional prototypes, tooling, and end-use parts at full scale. With a 280-liter build volume and advanced thermal control, it enables reliable printing of engineering-grade polymers with exceptional strength and accuracy. Designed for industrial productivity, the ALTRA 280 delivers consistent performance in demanding applications.

High-Temperature Performance, Precision, Flexibility

Engineered for large-scale manufacturing, the ALTRA 280 features a rigid welded frame, precision ball screws, and servo-driven motion to maintain accuracy throughout long print jobs. Its expansive 500 × 700 × 800 mm build volume allows users to print bigger parts in a single piece, reducing assembly requirements and improving overall part integrity. This makes it an ideal solution for applications where size, strength, and reliability are critical.

Built for demanding applications

A fully controlled thermal environment allows the ALTRA 280 to process advanced engineering polymers with confidence. With a 180°C heated chamber, 180°C print bed, and DSX extruders reaching up to 450°C, the system ensures optimal layer adhesion and dimensional stability.

Dry Material Storage

A sealed dry-storage chamber keeps filament in optimal condition by preventing moisture absorption. With capacity for two spools, the system ensures materials are always ready for high-quality printing.

KEY FEATURES

Accuracy in Large Scale

With a build volume of 280 liters, the ALTRA produces intricate fullfledged prototypes, production, and end-use parts. Thanks to the welded frame, ball screws and servo motors like those found in CNC technology, ALTRA 280 achieves the accuracy and repeatability you expect in an industrial machine.

Up to 4 DSX Extruders

The ALTRA 280 is equipped with up to 4 DSX capable of printing at 450°C up to 20kg in one cycle. Achieve complex prints with dual extruders and ensure seamless production with two respective backup extruders. Each DSX is a masterpiece, with integrated cooling channels and multiple sensors for monitoring and control.

Fully Automated Quick Start

Getting started is quick and easy thanks to automatic functions like bed calibration, topology measurement, and corresponding automatic compensation. After a smooth start, built-in sensors will secure your 24/7 operation while the camera enables real-time remote monitoring so you won’t miss a thing.

Even Temperature Distribution

Consistent temperature is key for excellent prints and a requirement for high-performance parts. Reaching temperatures up to 180°C, the print bed and build chamber both maintain uniform heat distribution. The airflow control precisely tempers the prints resulting in enhanced and consistent mechanical properties.
