One Year of Omega I60
The announcement also celebrates the first anniversary of the BCN3D Omega I60, which has gained significant traction in manufacturing and engineering industries worldwide. The printer’s key features include:
- Heated chamber for processing technical materials
- Advanced materials operation system for humidity control and spool recovery
- Large 60-litre print volume
- Printing speeds of up to 150 mm/s with Omega Proto filament
During its first year, the BCN3D Omega I60 has been widely adopted by companies across key sectors worldwide, especially in the manufacturing and engineering industries. This adoption is focused on applications in tooling and functional prototyping, directly aligning with BCN3D’s go-to-market strategy for the Omega I60.
Camper, a renowned global footwear brand, is benefiting from the Omega I60’s versatility and speed. By complementing their prototyping capabilities with the Omega I60, Camper has accelerated the design and launch process for new collections. With the ability to print in-house prototypes at speeds of up to 150 mm/s with Omega Proto filament, Camper has improved both the quality and lead time of their prototypes, enabling their teams to iterate and refine designs rapidly and effectively.
