BigRep One is a large scale 3D printer unveiled at the NYC 3D print show
BigRep One is a large scale 3D printer unveiled at the NYC 3D print show. Created by Lukas Oehmigen. It’s ability to print objects 1 x 1 x 1.3m will mean that when it’s launched it will be the only large format 3d printer available to the public. The video doesn’t really do its size justice, take a look at some of the images below to get an idea of scale

Hello everybody! I’m rather new to 3d printing and I have quite a few questions on the subject, so I hope you will not get mad at me for asking here at least couple of them. I think before I’ll get seriously into designing I should focus on the software itself, and that’s what I’d like to ask you about. Mainly, should I start with the most simple and crudest CAD I can find or would it be better to start on something more complicated? I’m worried that I’ll get some unwanted habits while working with less complex software. The second question is about the software as well: should I search for software that would allow me design and slice it in it, or should I use a different software for each? Will it even make a difference? Surprisingly, I couldn’t find the answer to that, as it seems like most websites want to focus on the very basics (like what is 3d printing and so on), and while the answers to those questions are fine, it seems like no one wants to go into the details (it looks like some of them even plagiarise each other! I swear I’ve found the same answers to the same questions on at least 3 different sites) but I’m getting off-topic… The last question is about 3d pens. Would it be possible to somehow convert whatever I draw with a 3d pen to a 3d model in a program? For example, if I’ll draw a dog with 3d pen, would it be possible to get its design in a program? I’m not sure how that could even work, but the very idea sounds interesting to me. Anyway, I think I’ll stop here just in case no one will answer me and all of this writing will be for nothing. I’m sorry that I’m using your content to ask questions, but I hope you’ll understand and help a rookie like me. Anyway, thank you for posting. I did learn something from this and that’s always appreciated. Thank you, and I hope to hear back from you very soon 🙂
