Discover how large-scale 3D printing saves time and cost, whether you're printing massive single parts or producing multiple components in one build.
At a Glance:
Large-format 3D printing enables manufacturers to create full-scale prototypes, tooling, and multiple components in a single build, improving efficiency and reducing cost per part. This guide explores how technologies like FDM, SLA, SAF™, and PolyJet™ handle large volumes, materials, and throughput, comparing their strengths and applications across industries. From printing massive single parts to optimizing multi-part builds, learn how build size, material choice, and production goals determine the best approach for scaling 3D printing.
