BigRep introduces DRYCON, a 3-in-1 machine combining drying, storage, and annealing to enhance 3D printing quality and efficiency.
Remember the challenges of moisture and inconsistent results that once plagued 3D printing? Those days could be behind us. BigRep, the leading manufacturer for large-format 3D printers has released a one-of-its kind machine that holds the scope of changing everything in industrial 3d printing.
DRYCON combines drying, storage, and annealing capabilities in a single unit, addressing one of the most persistent challenges in 3D printing: moisture content in filaments. This innovative system ensures optimal drying conditions by periodically changing air while conserving energy, allowing filaments to perform at their peak.
However, the DRYCON is not limited to filament drying. Its annealing functions enable 3D printing to another level — strengthening, heat-resistant and dimensions accurate printed parts. This feature is particularly valuable for industrial applications where high-performance components are crucial.
The machine’s dual chamber system can handle up to 36 kg of filament and reach temperatures of 180°C, making it ideal for flexible and high-temperature materials. With four filament openings, DRYCON streamlines the additive manufacturing process by allowing direct feeding into 3D printers, eliminating the need for manual transfers and separate storage.
Remember the frustration of failed prints and inconsistent quality? DRYCON aims to make those a thing of the past. By improving print quality, reducing extrusion issues, and enhancing the mechanical properties of printed parts, this 3-in-1 solution promises to deliver repeatable, industrial-grade results while reducing production costs and minimizing defects.
Currently available in the EMEA region, DRYCON is set to go global in early 2025. As we look back on the evolution of 3D printing, we may well remember DRYCON as a turning point in the industry’s quest for high-performance, reliable additive manufacturing.
