MatterHackers and BigRep cooperate for large-format 3D printing solutions

MatterHackers, a provider of 3D printing solutions in the US, has announced a strategic partnership with BigRep, a pioneer in large-format 3D printing technology. This collaboration significantly expands MatterHackers’ portfolio and provides enhanced capabilities to produce large-format parts with professional quality.

The partnership with BigRep was facilitated by MatterHackers’ acquisition of Source Graphics in late 2023. This strategic move enables MatterHackers to expand its offering and meet an even broader range of industrial and professional 3D printing needs.

“Integrating BigRep’s innovative large-format 3D printers into our portfolio marks a significant milestone for MatterHackers,” said Kevin Pope, Chief Operating Officer at MatterHackers. “This partnership allows us to offer our customers unprecedented capabilities in large-scale additive manufacturing, opening up new possibilities for industries ranging from automotive to aerospace.”

In addition to expanding its product offering, MatterHackers is also enhancing its services to provide comprehensive support throughout the 3D printing lifecycle. In addition to existing on-site installation and setup services, MatterHackers now offers lifetime maintenance options to ensure customers can maximize the longevity and performance of their 3D printing investments.

“Our growing suite of services reflects our commitment to not just selling 3D printers, but to being a true partner in our customers’ additive manufacturing journey,” explained Dave Gaylord, Chief Technology Officer at MatterHackers. “From initial consultation and setup to ongoing maintenance and technical support, we’re dedicated to ensuring our customers achieve success with their 3D printing projects, regardless of scale or complexity.”

BigRep’s advanced 3D printing systems are renowned for their ability to produce large, complex parts with exceptional precision and speed. By integrating these systems into their offering and supporting them with comprehensive services, MatterHackers is reinforcing its commitment to providing advanced solutions that meet the evolving needs of professional and industrial users.

“Our partnership with MatterHackers marks a significant step forward in our mission to provide smart additive manufacturing solutions to a broader audience in the US market,” said Jeff Olson, Director of Business Development (Americas) at BigRep. “Built on years of collaboration with Source Graphics, this partnership is further strengthened by MatterHackers’ extensive AM hardware, software, and materials expertise. Their commitment to prioritizing customer success perfectly aligns with BigRep’s vision of streamlining large-scale 3D printing adoption. We look forward to a successful partnership.”

This partnership and service expansion underscores MatterHackers’ commitment to enhancing its professional 3D printing capabilities, following the successful collaboration with Formlabs announced earlier this year. By continually enhancing its portfolio with industry-leading technologies and robust support services, MatterHackers remains at the forefront of the 3D printing industry, enabling its customers to tackle increasingly complex and ambitious projects with confidence.
