Large-format 3D printing for productivity
Do you still think large-format printers are only for oversized prototypes? Think again. Today’s industrial machines are productivity workhorses—capable of printing dozens of parts in one run and running for weeks without a break. If your production line is waiting around for prints to finish, you’re leaving money on the table.
Throughput and efficiency
Stratasys notes that the ability to nest multiple parts in a single build is one of the biggest advantages of large-format printing. This multi-part nesting increases throughput, reduces per-part cost and minimizes material waste. However, many machines still struggle with continuous operation and remote management; downtime for material changes or software restrictions erodes productivity. DivByZ’s printers excel in this area.
DivByZ batch manufacturing
Continuous operation
The Aion 500 MK2 and Aeqon 400 V4 are designed for continuous batch manufacturing. Each features dual servo extruders with auto-switchover and a stable moving gantry, allowing them to run for more than 20 days straight without maintenance. They store up to 3,000 G-code files and enable remote monitoring by up to ten users, letting teams queue multiple jobs and supervise progress from anywhere.
Case studies
- An automotive supplier used the Aion 500 MK2 to halve its spare-parts inventory and respond to machine failures within 24 hours.
- Another manufacturer printed legacy parts overnight to avoid a shutdown.
Reliability and speed
When nesting parts, reliability is key. DivByZ’s fail-safe filament sensors, filtration systems and open-material support reduce the risk of mid-print failures. Combined with high print speeds—200 mm/s on the Aion 500 MK2 and 500 mm/s on the Quantum Pro 500—you can dramatically increase throughput.
Customer results
- 30–50 % faster prototyping
- 25–40 % less material waste
- 60–80 % labour savings
