BigRep PRO - 53 Cu Foot Build Volume
I have a thing for large 3D printers, I admit. BigRep who earlier this year unveiled an enormous FDM printer called the BigRep one, has just announced an even more robust machine, that's an incredible 8 cubic feet larger then it's last 3D Printer. The BigRep PRO features a build volume of 53 cubic feet, allowing for the printing of furniture pieces. The machine is estimated to retail at around $79,000. More details on the this new massive 3D printer can be found here: http://3dprint.com/13906/bigrep-pro/
Below is the very first available image of the new BigRep Po 3D Printer. What do you guys think?

53 cubic feet sounds big - but 1.5 cubic metres doesn't
What are the ACTUAL print dimensions ?
Volume measurements are just confusing.
And what does it print with ?
Sounds pretty cheap for the size too.

Is that a photo or a rendering? Is it really that hard to have a product web page ready when a press release is posted? I doubt the specs are in flux.

Well... must be a Hell of a long print to use this kind of volume. I'll be impressed when they release an announcment of several heads working on it in harmony.

Ah but for volume that size you'd most likely use a much bigger nozzle and much thicker layers than a small desktop model.

The way I always use to keep the volume scales right in my head is that a cubic meter of water (de-ionized, at sea level yadda yadda) is by definition one ton.
I don't know about you, but for some reason it's easy for my mind to visualize "if this were a pool, how many tons of water would fill it?"
