Full-Scale 3D Printing
The 280-liter build volume delivers high-temperature 3D printing in large scale. The welded frame, ball screws, and servo motors ensure accuracy even in long print jobs.
High-Performance Parts
A 180°C chamber, 180°C print bed, and 450°C extruders create a thermally stable environment. This ensures strong layer bonding, dimensional accuracy, and compatibility with a wide range of engineering polymers.
Four Reliable DSX Extruders
Up to 4 DSX extruders include integrated cooling and multiple sensors for continuous monitoring. Relay Mode automatically switches to a second extruder when filament runs out.
Fully Automated Quick Start
The ALTRA 280 handles calibration automatically through topology measurement and compensation. Integrated sensors maintain stable operation, and the HD camera provides real-time remote monitoring.
