Q.BIG Queen 1 Large Format 3D Printer

Component size:
Length 1700 x Width 1050 x Height 1050 mm

Printing method:
The patented VFGF (Variable Fused Granulate Fabrication) technology is a further development of pellet 3D printing with variable nozzle opening. It prints in high resolution only where necessary, for example on visible surfaces, and efficiently fills inner areas with thicker webs. In this way, VFGF combines the advantages of FDM (Fused Desposition Modeling) for fine details and complex geometries with those of granulate printing (high application rates, material variety, lower costs). Intelligent algorithms ensure the right amount of material in the right place at all times, even for complex shapes with overhangs or support structures.

Areas of application:
For prototypes, individual parts, small series and also for higher quantities. By melting in a specially developed screw extruder, high throughputs are achieved, which significantly reduces the printing time.
For example, in industries such as aerospace as well as mechanical engineering and the automotive industry.

Pros:
Components with unlimited shape complexity and a high surface quality can be produced. The process achieves shorter printing times and significantly lower material costs compared to filament 3D printing. This opens up the possibility of using large-format 3D printing economically in production for the first time.
