XXL in one piece

Components up to 900 x 900 x 1000 mm without gluing and without sectional construction – panels, housings, jigs, master models and spare parts in one print.

Technical materials

From PLA and PETG to ABS, ASA, and PA, right through to fibre-reinforced PA-CF and PPS-CF – tested for printability and advised to suit the application.

Planbar from Kiel

Reproducible quality, reliable delivery dates, and personal consultation – made in Altenholz near Kiel, delivered throughout Germany.

When is large-format 3D printing worthwhile?

Whenever a component is too large for conventional printers – and milling or laminating becomes too expensive, too slow or too heavy. Typical practical applications:

Panels & Housings

Machine cowlings, covers and housing parts in single units – without tooling directly from CAD.

Jigs & Fixtures

Assembly aids, drill jigs and brackets in actual size, designed for the specific workstation.

Master models and mould making

Large-format master patterns for casting and lamination – dimensionally stable printed instead of elaborately built by hand.

Spare parts

Large parts that are no longer available are digitised via 3D scanning and reproduced ready for installation.

Exhibition and trade fair construction

Exhibits, presentation models and bespoke items – lightweight, portable and delivered on time.

Architecture & Design

scale models and design studies in sizes that classical Model making achieved only with great effort.

In one piece instead of glued: the difference

Anyone manufacturing large components on small printers has to split them into sections, glue and fill them. Every glued joint is a weak point, costs rework and dimensional accuracy. The SAM prints up to 900 × 900 × 1000 mm in one piece – the component comes out ready in a single cast, with reproducible quality.

You want to manufacture large components regularly – in-house? Then it is worth taking a look at the Large-scale 3D printer SAM itself. Suitable for all fields of application from toolmaking to small-batch production industrial 3D printing in practice, what is possible today.

It's as easy as that.

Frequently Asked Questions

How large can a component be in large-scale 3D printing?

The SAM large-format 3D printer from Mach-3D produces components up to 900 × 900 × 1000 mm in one piece. We construct larger components in a way that allows for clean division and joining – we will confirm this in our quote.

What does large-format 3D printing cost as a service?

The price depends on the volume, material and quantity. With Mach-3D's quote calculator, you'll get a calculation directly after uploading your file – non-binding and free of charge.

What materials are suitable for large components?

Mach-3D processes PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, PA, and TPU, as well as fibre-reinforced types like PA-CF and PPS-CF. The suitable material depends on temperature, load, and application – we offer specific advice on this.
