BigRep

Based in Germany, Bigrep offers 3D printers, materials, and software for additive manufacturing (AM) targeting jigs and fixtures for the factory floor, automotive industry, and research in universities. The company has three printer options: the BigRep PRO, an industrial printer for large prototypes; the BigRep STUDIO G2, a desktop 3D printer; and the BigRep ONE, a cost-effective 3D printer. BigRep also has a variety of filaments from general-use materials to engineering-grade materials, which the customer can choose from depending on the requirement. Bigrep filaments are also compatible with other (third party) printers with the appropriate diameter nozzle and vice versa. Bigrep’s software BLADE simplifies the printing process by optimizing for large-format parts, providing accurate printing time and material use predictions. Bigrep introduced a new FLOW SaaS solution in May 2022 that assists in the printing of production aids, jigs, and fixtures. The company has offices in the US and Singapore.

In October 2024, BigRep launched DRYCON, a new industrial filament dryer for 3D printers using high-performance, flexible, and high-temperature materials. The DRYCON is designed to simultaneously dry, store, and anneal spools and parts. It features dual chambers that can heat up to 180°C, an air exchange system to replace humid air with fresh air, and four filament outlets for direct feeding into 3D printers. 

Key customers and partnerships

As of February 2024, Bigrep served 30+ customers including Siemens, Daimler, ABB, Airbus, Sony, and AutoDesk.

Bigrep entered into several product partnerships including with Forward AM (May 2021) to develop new materials, Bosch Rexroth (October 2018) to introduce an industry 4.0 application for industrial production, and Teton Simulation (November 2021) to integrate technologies to offer solutions for large-format 3D printing. It also entered into distribution partnerships with 3DVerkstan AB (November 2023) to distribute large-format solutions within the Swedish and Danish markets and ADMASYS International (August 2024) to expand its global market presence and accessibility in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania.

In October 2024, BigRep America became the official 3D printing partner of motorsports organization Legacy Motor Club to provide two BigRep STUDIO G2 3D printers for the high-volume production of smaller parts, creation of quality control templates, support of wind tunnel testing components, and mold-making for composite parts.
