Your company will be exhibiting at RAPID + TCT, what is it that makes this an important event for your company?

BigRep is showcasing the highly anticipated BigRep PRO for only the 2nd time in North America at RAPID+TCT.  

Powered by BigRep’s new Metering Extruder Technology (MXT®), this industrial large-scale 3D printer is setting a new standard in speed and precision.  

Plus we will be announcing something new on Monday, May 20th that will be showcased in our booth 503 as well. Last but not least, we will present NERA, the world’s first fully 3D-printed e-motorbike for the first time in North America.

What makes your booth a must visit for RAPID + TCT Attendees?

BigRep is the go to for large-format 3D printing.  We will be offering demos throughout the show, where you can learn more about what sets us apart from some of the other thermoplastic extrusion printers at the RAPID+TCT.  We like to use the expression, Go Big – and we believe that once you Go BigRep, you won’t want to go back.

RAPID + TCT has many educational sessions, forums & Demo’s, is your company involved in any of them this year?

Our very own Marco Mattia – the lead designer of the NERAeBike  will present how it came to life in just 12 short weeks from concept to final product.  This will happen on Thursday at 10:45 am in the Applications Track. The NERA eBike will also be on display at RAPID+TCT.

You can also get a demo of the BigRep PRO at any time throughout RAPID by stopping by the booth.

When you get a chance to walk the exhibit hall floor yourself, what is it you will be most interested to see?  Any educational sessions, pavilions etc. you plan on attending? 

One of the great things about RAPID+TCT is that there is always something new to see and this creates a lot of excitement among attendees and exhibitors.  

Manufacturing is undertaking rapid advancements, be it automation, 3D Technology, machine vision or data.  Give us an idea on how your company and product is being utilized now in advanced manufacturing.
