What Is the Largest Part You Can 3D Print?
1. Maximum Build Sizes by Technology
FDM: 360 x 360 x 360mm
SLA (Form 3L): 335 x 200 x 300mm
Industrial SLA: 1000 x 1000 x 600mm
MJF (HP): 380 x 284 x 380mm
FGF: 1800 x 1200 x 1100mm
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.
