Description
Reliable and easy-to-use desktop 3D Printer with Independent Dual Extruder System that delivers high-resolution multi-material parts in a simple and effective way.
During the concept design stage we set a clear target which determined the whole design and decisions: The BCN3D Sigma is a professional printer.
Aesthetics
It has to look like a professional equipment. Our previous printers were made with aluminium extruded profiles and plastic printed parts. That made sense for printers oriented to makers or schools, sold as a kit. But, in this case, aesthetic was a major player. For this reason, we adopted a welded aluminium frame, which allows the Sigma to be a unique and attractive 3D printer
Multimaterial
As a professional printer, it has to print as many materials as possible. Not only for engineers, who require tough -or flexible-, functional polymers, but also for designers who need the aesthetic component. However, material is not the only limitation. Complex geometries, overhangs and 3D printing doesn’t get along. So we wanted the Sigma to be a real solution for those users who need to print with supports as a must. In conclusion, the Sigma is the first and only commercial 3D printer with an Independent Dual Extuder (IDEX) system, which avoid all the side problems dual extrusion may cause.
High Quality
The 3D Printing industry is maturing. Users are more and more demanding and 3D printing must be a solution, not a headache. For this reason, the Sigma has to be a reliable piece of engineering, easy to assemble, maintain and capable to print seamlessly high quality objects, no matter how complex they are.
High Capacity
Real-life and functional parts are not always small. A big printing volume is a great advantage for a professional 3D Printer although the Sigma intends to be a desktop-sized printer. Allocating all the items and devices inside the frame, while granting ease-to-use and optimizing the axes structure were a key goal.
