Tiertime offers large-format 3D printer

The new UP600 industrial 3D printer has a 400- by 500- by 600-mm build envelope. According to the manufacturer, Tiertime, that’s more than twice the size of its earlier-generation UP300.

Objects are printed inside a heated build chamber, which minimizes deformation caused by plastic cooling too quickly and absorbing naturally occurring airborne moisture in the process. Applications for the industrial-grade, filament-style printer include prototyping, short-run production, one-off fabrication, large-scale modeling, R&D, medical, architecture, and industrial tooling.

Following are key specifications for the UP600:
