Additionally, BCN3D has introduced a flexible build plate and Stratos 2.0 for all Epsilon users. O ne of the leading 3D printing solutions manufacturers – BCN3D – has recently intro- duced the brand new BCN3D Omega I60 at a special event held at its Bar- celona headquarters. BCN3D Ome- ga I60 is an all-in-one industrial FFF 3D Printer designed to produce big, strong prototypes and end-use parts, particularly tooling, jigs, and fixtures. The BCN3D Omega I60 features a modernized version of BCN3D’s signa- ture IDEX technology, which doubles productivity by using both toolheads simultaneously. It boasts a massive print volume of 60L and a heated chamber that can reach temperatures up to 70 ° C, allowing for the produc- tion of large-scale, robust pieces in en- gineering-grade materials. The printer is equipped with a temperature and humidity-controlled material opera- tions system that prepares filaments for printing. Additionally, it utilizes a 1.75mm direct-drive high-speed ex- truder capable of speeds up to 300 mm/s, enabling faster production of parts than ever before. This momentous occasion coincides with BCN3D’s 11-year anniversary, a testament to their unwavering commitment to innovation. Over the course of this remarkable journey, All pictures: BCN3D
