Sieht man die Trennstelle?

Eine feine Linie bleibt meist sichtbar. Wenn es optisch wichtig ist, verspachteln und schleifen wir die Naht.

Ist das gefügte Teil so fest wie ein einteiliges?

An der Fuge nicht ganz. Wir legen sie deshalb dorthin, wo wenig Last wirkt, oder verstärken sie mit Schrauben.

Wie groß darf das Teil insgesamt sein?

Eine feste Grenze gibt es nicht. Ab einer gewissen Größe prüfen wir mit Ihnen, ob ein anderes Verfahren günstiger ist.

Wie bekomme ich einen Preis?

Laden Sie Ihre STEP- oder STL-Datei im Sofortangebot hoch. Sie sehen den Preis direkt, und wir prüfen die Datei vor der Fertigung auf Probleme.

Welche Angaben werden für Große Bauteile benötigt?

Senden Sie möglichst eine STEP-Datei sowie Stückzahl, Einsatztemperatur, Belastung, Umgebungsbedingungen und kritische Maße. Damit lassen sich Werkstoff, Orientierung, Fertigungsstrategie und Prüfaufwand passend zum Bauteil festlegen.

Large parts, cleanly split and joined

Our build volume is about 250 x 250 x 250 mm. Larger parts are split so seams sit in non-critical areas, and the segments are joined accurately.

Request a large part Ask for advice

We agree the split with you first

Typical applications

When the part is bigger than a printer.

Machine guards

Large covers and panels.

Full-scale models

Product models at original size.

Ducts

Air ducts and extraction hoods.

Gauges and nests

Long gauges and workpiece nests.

Suitable materials

For large parts we prefer low-warp materials such as PETG and PLA. ASA and ABS are possible but need more care.

What we consider when splitting

01Seams away from visible faces and critical dimensions.
02Dowels or tongue and groove for alignment.
03Joining method: screws, adhesive or both.
04Overall tolerance across the length.

Full DFM checklist

Splitting is design work

Simply cutting a model with a plane rarely works well. Each segment has to print sensibly, joining faces need to be large enough, and the parts must align unambiguously.

We propose the split before printing, so you decide where seams may be.

Large part FAQ

Is the seam visible?

A fine line usually remains. If appearance matters, we fill and sand the seam.

Is a joined part as strong as a one-piece part?

Not quite at the seam. We therefore place it where loads are low or reinforce it with screws.

How large can the total part be?

There is no fixed limit. Above a certain size we check with you whether another process is cheaper.

How do I get a price?

Upload your STEP or STL file in the instant quote. You see the price immediately, and we check the file for problems before production.

Which information is needed for Large parts?

Send a STEP file where possible, together with quantity, operating temperature, load, environmental conditions and critical dimensions. This lets us define material, orientation, production strategy and inspection effort for the part.
