What is Baam 3D printing?

What is Baam 3D printing?

Developed with our partners at Oak Ridge National Lab and introduced to the market in 2014, this machine was the pioneer of large format pellet 3D printing. Today, the BAAM challenges the economics of traditional manufacturing methods by producing large, near-net shape parts at rapid speeds and a fraction of the cost.

How does the Baam work?

Parts are typically post processed to final dimension by machining or coating. By utilizing inexpensive, pelletized thermoplastics, the BAAM significantly reduces the cost to produce large thermoplastic parts. The BAAM can print parts up to 8’x20’. Custom build heights are available.

What materials are compatible with the Baam?

The BAAM is compatible with every thermoplastic and composite material on the market today. The BAAM prints a wide range of bead geometries thanks to its various nozzle sizes, allowing for appropriate material usage with custom bead geometries. CI and our partners have been working through the challenges of large-format 3D printing since 2014.

What is a babaam machine?

BAAM (Big Area Additive Manufacturing) is an industrial sized, additive machine. The machine uses the proven design and technology from our laser platform, including the machine frame, motion system, and control, and has been adapted with an extruder and feeding system.
