New one-meter-cubed 3D printer pumps out large-scale prints at 3kg an hour — Modix MAMA-1000 also needs a big wallet with prices starting at $35,000
The MAMA-1000 pellet 3D printer from Modix prints with a whopping 3kg an hour throughput.
Advances in materials science and additive manufacturing technology are enabling larger-scale, higher-throughput 3D printing solutions to become commercially viable.
This development indicates continuous progress in industrial 3D printing capabilities, potentially enabling on-demand, large-scale fabrication for various industries and reducing lead times.
The ability to rapidly print large objects at 3kg/hour with a one-meter-cubed printer makes additive manufacturing more competitive for industrial production of larger components.

Manufacturing of large, custom industrial parts becomes more accessible and efficient through additive processes.
This could lead to a decentralization of manufacturing for certain large components, reducing reliance on distant factories and long shipping times.
Localised industrial hubs might emerge, prototyping and producing large machinery parts on demand, impacting global supply chain resilience.
