BigRep PRO Large Scale 3D Printer
With a 1 cubic meter build volume, the BigRep PRO is a fully enclosed industrial 3D printer for producing fullscale, large parts including functional prototypes, factory tooling, patterns and molds, and end-use parts. Built for productivity throughout all stages of manufacturing, the PRO provides designers, engineers, and manufacturers with an easy-to-use, agile solution to produce faster and cheaper.
Supported by its Precision Motions Portal, a durable, custom-built gantry, along with Bosch Rexroth CNC components, the PRO consistently delivers on speed, precision, and quality. Now thanks to JUMPSTART, a new BigRep hybrid software-hardware solution that lets you skip the hassle and just start printing, the PRO is easier than ever to use.
Whether it’s functional prototypes, composite tooling or end-use products, the PRO delivers, with a range of new features, including a state-of-the-art Bosch CNC system, new Metering Extruder Technology (MXT®), an enclosed build chamber and temperature-controlled filament chambers.
The PRO was inspired by the ONE and STUDIO 3D printers, winners of multiple awards including the German Brand Award 2018, the German Innovation Award 2018 and the German Design Award 2016.

JUMPSTART
SKIP THE HASSLE. JUST PRINT.
Using the latest PRO 3D printer is easier than ever thanks to BigRep JUMPSTART, a hybrid software-hardware solution that lets you skip the hassle and just start printing. It includes the SWITCHPLATE, a removable and flexible print bed surface, the LOCKSTAGE for easy and secure extruder mounting, and the MXT® Control System that bypasses manual calibration ensuring crucial first print layers are optimal every time.
SWITCHPLATE
The SWITCHPLATE is a removable and flexible print bed surface available in different coatings, each optimized for various materials ensuring proper bed adhesion. It is magnetic and easily snaps into place. Heat increases the adhesiveness of the surface so your print stays fixed during printing, but is easy to remove once cooled.
MXT® CONTROL SYSTEM
The MXT® Control System employs proprietary algorithms that improve your gcode print file. The result is better quality, higher accuracy, and all-around consistent results. MXT® is the brain powering JUMPSTART, which simplifies the user experience, bypassing the need for manual calibration for the print bed, extruder, and dual extrusion.
LOCKSTAGE
The LOCKSTAGE allows simple and secure extruder mounting without the need for manual position calibration. Extruders easily snap into place and provide consistent precision throughout your entire print.

LARGE-SCALE & GERMAN ENGINEERED
High Accuracy at High Speeds
The Precision Motions Portal
The PRO’s massive 1m3 build volume is supported by a durable, custom-built gantry engineered for high speed, fast acceleration, and accuracy. The robust frame eliminates vibrations during 3D printing assuring fast, yet precise movement gliding the extruders along a reinforced carriage system. Powered by Bosch servo motors with integrated encoders, the PRO calculates the real-time location of the print head to self-monitor for position accuracy.
Fast, Precise & Fiber-Ready
The Advanced Capability Extruder
BigRep’s Advanced Capability Extruder (ACE) expands the material capabilities of the PRO while still reliably delivering quality 3D prints with speed and precision. ACE is a direct drive extruder, perfectly equipped for fiber-reinforced materials such as BigRep’s HI-TEMP CF. With ACE you can print large-format, strong parts 50% faster than other large-scale printers.
Airtight Filament Chamber
The Dry Material Storage
The PRO’s environmentally sealed filament chamber with a two-spool capacity ensures that all materials, including engineering-grade and water-soluble, remain dry in a consistently temperature and humidity-controlled environment. Even when powered off, the PRO’s airtight material storage ensures best-in-class quality and reliability.
