Large scale industrial 3D printing solutions
CEAD’s years of research and development of industrial 3D printing technology is translated into our diverse range of large scale 3D printing solutions. This range of solutions includes stand alone printheads, complete robot based solutions and gantry based solutions and services such as pilot programs.
On this page an overview of these 3D printing solutions is listed. Feel free to contact us directly to find out how CEAD can help your company transform its business activities with our technology.
Pilot project
To assess the technical and commercial feasibility of the application using large scale 3D printing, a pilot project can be conducted together with CEAD. During this project we will investigate important aspects of the application such as the design, required material, and printing strategy.

Robot extruder
CEAD offers its printheads as technology components that can be used to build large scale 3D printers. These printheads are often referred to as the robot extruder since they are regularly integrated with robotics but can also be integrated with gantry based solutions.
They are available in two sizes, the lightweight RE E25 and high output RE E50 and are able to use a wide variety of thermoplastic materials.
Print bed
The print bed provides a rigid, stable and easy to use building platform for large scale 3D printing. The working area of the print bed exists out of multiple aluminium bed profiles, specially designed for additive manufacturing, which guarantees a good mechanical bonding between the printed object and the bed. The print bed can be used for any thermoplastic printing material.
A tubular steel frame in combination with an independent height adjustable top layer ensures a rigid building platform for prints up to 2m x 1,2m.

AM Flexbot
A modular solution capable of combining multiple processes such as 3D printing and milling.
The AM Flexbot is ideal for custom solutions to fit a specific application. Siemens Sinumerik is used to directly control the Comau robot arm, meaning no robot controller is needed. This enables very accurate operation of the robot, especially in terms of position accuracy while travelling along a path.
