The BIG T: The 3D printer with the largest printing volume in Latin America

In the world of additive manufacturing, innovation is not only measured by precision or speed, but also by the ability to create big. At Trideo, we have taken this concept to the extreme with our BIG T industrial 3D printer, an equipment designed and manufactured in Latin America that redefines the limits of printing volume. With a working space of 1 cubic meter (1000mm x 1000mm x 1000mm), the BIG T is positioned as the 3D printer with the largest printing volume developed in the region, offering a robust, precise and adaptable solution for the most demanding challenges of modern industry.

The BIG T is not a simple 3D printer: it is the result of years of research, engineering and experience in digital manufacturing. Designed and produced by Trideo, our pioneer in professional 3D printing with presence in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, this model represents the commitment to regional technological development and industrial independence.

Thanks to its robust structure, high quality components and precision electronics, the BIG T guarantees dimensional repeatability and reliability in long production runs, essential features for professional use.

Giant printing volume : 1 cubic meter of possibilities

The heart of the BIG T is its printing volume of 1000 x 1000 x 1000 mm, which makes it possible to manufacture large parts without the need for assembly. This immense space opens up a range of possibilities for sectors such as:

  • Automotive and aerospace: manufacturing of molds, templates and functional prototypes.
  • Architecture and construction: large scale models, scale models and structural components.
  • Sculpture and art: monumental pieces and detailed replicas.
  • Furniture and industrial design: unique, customized and ergonomic elements.

While most 3D printers on the market are limited to volumes smaller than 30cmx 30cm x 30cm x 30cm, the BIG T breaks the traditional barriers, allowing size to no longer be a limitation for creativity and engineering.

High-flow extruder printing: sustainability and efficiency in every layer

One of the most outstanding innovations of the BIG T is its high-performance extrusion system, designed to combine speed, precision and energy efficiency. In its standard configuration, the printer incorporates a high-flow extruder that works with 2.85 mm diameter filament, capable of achieving a flow rate of up to 200 mm³/s, equivalent to almost one kilogram of material per hour.
This extraordinary capacity allows it to take full advantage of its large print volume, as a conventional extruder would be insufficient to maintain competitive production times on large-scale parts.

The system is compatible with a wide range of materials, including PLA, PETG, TPU and other engineering thermoplastics, ensuring both mechanical strength and surface quality on every project.

Over the past year, the Trideo team has gone further in innovation and sustainability by also developing a version of the BIG T equipped with pellet extruder.Unlike traditional printers that use filament, this system allows feeding the machine with recycled or virgin plastic pellets, significantly reducing production costs and environmental footprint.

With this technology, the BIG T can process industrial materials such as recycled or virgin PLA, opening the door to circular manufacturing.

In this way, the BIG T not only prints in large format: it also redefines the concept of sustainable production, closing the manufacturing cycle and aligning itself with the environmental objectives of the future.

Industrial precision in large format

Despite its large size, the BIG T maintains millimetric printing precision, thanks to its movement system controlled by high quality linear guides in all three axes. Its heated platform guarantees homogeneous thermal distribution, avoiding deformations even in large-volume parts.

The printer is equipped with an automatic bed leveling system, flow sensors and intelligent control software that monitors all printing parameters in real time. The result: smooth surfaces, precise geometries and perfect repeatability.

Use cases and real applications

The BIG T is already working in multiple sectors, demonstrating its versatility and power:

  • Plastic industry: production of molds, tooling and customized parts.
  • Art and museography: printing of monumental sculptures and full-scale reproductions.
  • Design and prototyping companies: rapid validation of large products.

At fairs and congresses such as the CMD 3D Printing Congress in Buenos Aires, the BIG T has been presented printing live pieces of recycled furniture, transforming plastic waste into useful and sustainable objects.

Why print with the BIG T

Printing large parts with Trideo is printing with the BIG T and is an investment in quality and production capacity. Its combination of high volume and high flow extrusion system makes it the ideal tool for companies looking to innovate without relying on costly imports or size limitations.

Conclusion: print big, think big

BIG T symbolizes a paradigm shift in Latin American additive manufacturing. It is no longer just about printing small parts or prototypes: it is about manufacturing structures, final objects and industrial solutions at real scale, directly from the region. At Trideo we believe that innovation has no borders, and the BIG T is our way of demonstrating it.

If your company is looking to produce big, reduce costs and focus on sustainability, the BIG T is the next natural step in your technological evolution.
