Oversize 3D Printing

Thermoplastic Composite 3D Printing

Trendy provides large-format fused 3D printing service for thermoplastic composite parts, with maximum build dimension 3m × 2m × 1.8m.

We support a wide range of plastic composite materials and custom material formulation.

Combining additive manufacturing with secondary CNC milling, we deliver hybrid manufacturing solutions. Complex oversized components can be printed in one piece without splitting and assembly.

Suitable for large tooling, composite moulds, prototype enclosures, exhibition props and art installations. One-stop service includes DFM review, printing, precision machining and post-finishing.

Product Specifications

Solve the challenges of part assembly, weak joints, and long lead times with our large-format 3D printing

Maximum printable size: 3000 x 2000 x 1800 mm, supporting true one-piece production of large parts.

Typical applications include architectural models, exhibition displays, stage and set pieces, furniture prototypes, marine and aerospace components, molds, and fixtures.

Large-format 3D printing can reduce extensive joining and secondary machining, improve mechanical performance and appearance, shorten development cycles, and lower assembly costs.

Technical Advantages of Granule Printing

  • Wider material selection and lower cost: Low-cost plastic granules can be used directly. Material cost is only 1/5 to 1/3 of filament materials.
  • Faster printing speed: The deposition rate is up to 15 kg/h, and the forming efficiency is 100 times that of traditional filament 3D printing.
  • Larger printing size: Supports industrial meter-scale large-format integrated printing, with maximum build size of 3 m x 6 m x 1.5 m.
  • Higher molding strength: The mechanical strength in X/Y directions is close to injection molded parts, while Z-direction strength is greatly improved.

Surface Treatments

We provide secondary processing such as milling, polishing, and coating to enhance surface quality.

Cost Efficiency

Compared to SLS/SLA, our DFM (Direct from Manufacturing) approach offers a more economical solution without compromising on quality.

Advantages of Large-Scale FDM 3D Printing

1. Integral Forming, Minimized Assembly

Large-scale FDM enables one-piece manufacturing of oversized components. Parts no longer need to be split into segments for separate production and subsequent bonding or bolting.

  • Eliminates assembly seams and weak bonding joints
  • Reduces labor work for gluing, polishing, and assembly

2. High Design Freedom for Complex Geometries

Complex contours, hollow structures, internal stiffeners, and free-form shapes can be fabricated in a single process. Such structures are difficult or costly to produce via CNC machining or injection molding.

Ideal for non-standard custom parts, prototypes, and tooling.

3. No Mold Required, Cost-Effective for Low Volume

Unlike injection molding, which requires expensive custom molds, large-format 3D printing supports single-piece or small-batch production with zero mold investment.

Perfect for prototype verification, exhibition props, and custom tooling.

4. Wide Range of Material Options

Available materials include PLA, ABS, ASA, PETG, TPU, and fiber-reinforced filaments.

  • ASA offers excellent weather resistance for outdoor applications
  • Reinforced materials deliver improved structural strength
  • Suitable for insulating housings and lightweight casings

5. Lightweight Design Potential

Honeycomb and lattice infill structures can be adopted to reduce weight compared with solid CNC-machined or metal parts, lowering transportation and hoisting costs.

6. Shorter Lead Time

Workflow: 3D model to slicing to direct printing.

Multiple intermediate procedures such as mold making and multi-stage machining are omitted, accelerating product development iterations.

7. Easy Design Iteration

Design adjustments can be implemented simply by modifying the 3D model. Modifying finished molds involves extremely high costs, making this technology ideal for repeated R&D testing.
