The largest 3D printer in the world is the Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) printer, which is located at the University of Maine Advanced Structures and Composites Center (UMaine ASC). The BAAM printer is capable of printing objects up to 100 feet long, 22 feet wide, and 10 feet high. It uses a fused deposition modeling (FDM) process to print objects from carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP).
The BAAM printer was first built in 2017 and has been used to print a variety of objects, including boats, bridges, and wind turbine blades. It is used by researchers at UMaine ASC to develop new 3D printing technologies and to explore the potential of 3D printing for large-scale manufacturing.
The BAAM printer is a significant technological achievement and has the potential to revolutionize the way we manufacture large objects. It is still under development, but it has the potential to make 3D printing a more cost-effective and efficient way to produce large, complex objects.
