What is the largest part you can 3D print?
1. Maximum build sizes by technology
FDM: 1000 x 700 x 600mm (≈39.4 x 27.6 x 23.6 in)
SLA (Form 3L): 335 x 200 x 300mm (≈13.2 x 7.9 x 11.8 in)
Industrial SLA: 1700 x 800 x 600mm (≈66.9 x 31.5 x 23.6 in)
MJF (HP): 380 x 284 x 380mm
FGF: 2400 x 2400 x 1000mm (≈94.5 x 94.5 x 39.4 in)
2. Printing larger than build volume
- Split and bond — Divide into sections, print separately, assemble
- Optimize orientation — Rotating may fit within volume
- Choose a larger technology — Industrial SLA or FGF can handle very large parts
3. Design tips for large parts
Increase wall thickness to 3–4mm+ (FGF requires 3mm minimum)
Add alignment features for multi-part assemblies
Hollow with internal ribs where possible to reduce weight and cost
Large flat areas are prone to warping; add ribs
4. Lead time for large parts
Large parts require longer production times and may need additional post-processing. Lead times for oversized or complex parts are determined on a case-by-case basis. Submit your file for a manual quote with an accurate timeline.
