Modix Unveils Everest: A New Peak in Large-Format 3D Printing Technology
The Israeli company has developed a series of larger-format FFF 3D printers over the years, even naming one of their product lines, “BIG”. Now they’ve revealed a new large-format 3D printer, the Modix Everest, “a printer that stands tall”.
There’s one question that many large-format 3D printers struggle with: print duration. When an object is scaled up the volume of material increases dramatically, and correspondingly the print duration is lengthened, sometimes dramatically so. Early large-format FFF devices sometimes took weeks to complete large jobs. Their answer seems to be a new extruder, the Griffin. It’s a large capacity extruder, capable of delivering an amazing 500g of material per hour. To put that in perspective, that would be a 3D printer consuming 12 x 1kg spools per day.
