Builder 3D debuts a big printer with a heated chamber

The 1500 HC is the latest addition to Builder 3D Printers’ Extreme line of printers.

The filament-style printer’s build chamber measures 1,100 by 500 by 820 mm and heats to a maximum temperature of 70 degrees C. Those features, combined with the extruder’s max temperature of 300 degrees C, make the unit well-suited for additively manufacturing parts from materials such as PET-G, ABS, ASA, PC, and CF15, according to the manufacturer.

The monoprint head printer comes with three nozzles: 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 mm dia.

Printer specifications include:

• Print speeds from 80 to 200 mm/sec.

• Max travel speed of 300 mm/sec.

• Heated aluminum build plate (110 degrees C max).

• Direct-drive feeding system.

• 3-kW peak power rating.

• USB/Wi-Fi/Ethernet connectivity.

• 7-in., full-color touchscreen control.

The company currently is taking orders for the Extreme 1500 HC and expects deliveries to start in Q1 2022.
