The VX4000 is the world's biggest industrial 3D printing system for sand molds including the cohesive build space of 4,000 x 2,000 x 1,000 mm (LxWxH). The machine is very fast, easy to operate and permits the economical production of very large individual molds, many small-series components or a combination of the two. The VX4000 ensures high productivity and flexibility, due to its large volume. The layering process was specially adapted for this printer. Instead of lowering the building platform during the printing process, the print head is raised with each layer. The machine can thus easily support the heavy weight of the building platform, which can also be quickly replaced via a rail. As a result, the VX4000 can print almost continuously. Sand can be used as the particulate material. The VX4000's print head system can achieve a resolution of up to 300 dpi. A layer applied in one cycle is 300 µm thick.
