Founded in 2012 by three students from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (also known as BarcelonaTech), the manufacturer BCN3D has become one of the key players in the FDM 3D printing market over the years. Though initially focused on kit machines, since 2018, BCN3D has professionalized to offer professional Plug&play models, such as the Sigma D25 3D printer from the company. These are notable in particular due to BCN3D’s IDEX technology and for their various manufacturing modes such as Mirror or Duplication for the production of parts simultaneously.
The latest generation of BCN3D machines is divided into two series. On one hand, the Sigma D range covers “Desktop” 3D printers ” and is presented as the manufacturer’s entry range. On the other, the Epsilon W range includes the printers known as ” Workstation ” and has been designed more for production. Logically, the names of the printers are composed of the initial corresponding to the name of the range of the machine followed by the volume of printing available in liters. BCN3D thus offers the Epsilon W27, the Epsilon W50 and the Sigma D25.
Following the test of the W50 a bit ago, we had the pleasure to receive the BCN3D Sigma D25 in the 3Dnatives Lab. As mentioned, the Sigma D25 is a desktop printer with a printing volume of 25 liters. It features, among other things, a 5-inch full-color touch screen, Hiwin linear rails, a Dual Drive extrusion system from Bondtech™, two hotends specially developed by E3D (with a maximum printing temperature of 300 °C) as well as a heated print tray (allowing a maximum temperature of 80 °C).
