BigRep ALTRA 670 Launches as the Company Leaves the Stock Exchange
BigRep is leaving the stock exchange while introducing the ALTRA 670, an industrial printer with a 1200 × 700 × 800 mm build volume and extruders rated to 450 °C.
Two significant announcements
On October 23, Germany’s BigRep announced a stock-market delisting alongside its new ALTRA 670 industrial FFF printer. Management said earlier expectations for rapid additive-manufacturing growth had proved too optimistic, prompting a focus on a long-term ownership structure and product development.
Technical positioning
The ALTRA 670 has a 1200 × 700 × 800 mm build volume. Its chamber and bed reach up to 140 °C, while two DSX extruders are rated to 450 °C. BigRep targets large engineering-polymer parts, tooling and industrial fixtures. Motion hardware includes servos and ball screws.
What to watch
The printer is open for worldwide orders, with first deliveries expected toward the end of the following year’s first quarter. Real part performance depends on chamber uniformity, material profiles and controlled cooling—not merely peak nozzle temperature. The corporate restructuring and product launch are related strategically, but neither guarantees market success.
