The closed enclosure of the BIG-120Z is made of aluminum composite panels and polycarbonate doors. It incorporates a premium motion system including HIWIN motion rails, Gates timing belts and IGUS signal cables. This is a smart 3D printer providing several key reliability features including power-off resume, filament runout sensor, 120 probing points based automatic bed leveling, stall detection and more. The manufacturer offers an active air filter device as an add-on.
The BIG-120Z is in its mechanics very similar to the 120X V3 model that Modix released earlier in 2020. With more z-space, the company aims at the needs that manufacturers of tall products have, such as the fashion and display advertising industry. This build volume of (XYZ) 600 x 600 x 1200 mm enables to print large objects in one part – and eliminates the need of a lengthy post process, which can both be cost and time consuming.
