Product Overview
The BigRep VIIO 250 is a fully automated large-format industrial 3D printer engineered for continuous production of large, functional parts with engineering-grade materials. It combines a heated build chamber, removable SWITCHPLATE bed, dual SMX extruders and automation features for unattended long-run manufacturing.

Key Benefits

• Continuous automated production with autocalibration, adaptive mesh bed leveling, out-of-filament detection and auto-sequential printing.
• Stable thermal environment and heated build chamber for consistent prints with high-temperature engineering materials.
• Infinity Box and Relay Mode enable uninterrupted filament handling and automatic backup between spools for long runs.

Features

• Heated Build Chamber: 250 L chamber heated up to 50 °C for dimensionally stable parts.
• Dual SMX Extruders: Two synchronized Smart Manufacturing Extruders with sensors, extrusion up to 350 °C and Relay Mode for automatic spool switching.
• Continuous Production Tools: Infinity Box, Relay Mode and auto-sequential printing for 24/7 operation.
• Print Bed: SWITCHPLATE removable magnetic surface heated to 120 °C with Prime and Select options for reliable first layers and easy part removal.
• Open Material System: Supports BigRep filaments and compatible third-party materials including high-temperature polymers.
• Remote Monitoring: Integrated HD wide-angle camera for real-time visibility and remote supervision.
