Use-Cases Examples
A 3D model can help plan for approaches in complicated structures to stay on schedule
High-detailed and large practical effects can be used to enhance CGI or as props in filming
3' tall iceberg used for a photo prop at a corporate event
3D prints can be used for fiberglass molds such as this one used to make two 13' tall Coca-Cola bottles
Tooling for large objects such as a child carseat can be over $100k, fitment tests can avoid significant losses
With Large-Format 3D Printing, you can:
Say YES to 3D printing large functional-use items for replacement parts, restorations, customizations, and more.
Say YES to clients' unique and intricate ideas that were once challenging with traditional methods.
Say YES to increasing your revenue by reducing design and R&D phase timelines.
Say YES to client jobs with demanding schedules, meeting deadlines effortlessly while increasing revenue streams.
Say YES to clients' unique and intricate ideas that were once challenging with traditional methods.
Say YES to producing more practical effects as they can be made lighter weight compared to other building materials.
Say YES to tight timelines and eliminate long work hours thanks to extremely fast printing speeds.
Say YES to more projects by decreasing production time and increasing revenue streams.
Ideal Materials for Large-Format 3D Printing
general use FDM
Prototyping, concept models, sales models, affordable functional-use parts, production runs, fitment tests, flexible parts, food-safe products, and moderately strong parts can all be produced with PLA and PETG on our large-format filament-extruding machines.
general use GDP
Dimengel 110
Dimengel 90 (DIM 90) is a cost-effective derivative of the DIM 100, offering the same wide range of applications and finishing options without illumination. Dimengel 100 (DIM 100) is a high-definition, general-use material.
engineering
Dimengel 400 (DIM 400) is the strongest and toughest of Massivit’s high-performance, Gel-Dispensing Printing materials. Its impact resistance is ideal for the most demanding functional prototyping and custom manufacturing.
translucent
Dimengel 300
Dimengel 300 (DIM 300) is a translucent 3D-printing photo-polymeric gel for the fast production of large parts. Like Dimengel 300, Dimengel 100 is semi-translucent. Both are typically used in applications where the printed part needs to be illuminated.
fire-retardant
20-FR (DIM 20-FR) is the world’s first flame-retardant 3D-printing thermoset gel to produce large parts. The polymer complies with the highest standard for flame-retardant materials, serving various industries, including automotive, marine, aerospace, rail, and scenic fabrication.

Example Projects at Varying Sizes
Iceberg Photo Prop
A 36" x 30" x 27" iceberg was needed as a prop for a photo shoot at a corporate event. The iceberg was printed on the Massivit5000 in just 6 hours. The customer smoothed and painted the print to create the result.
Gel Dispensing Printing (GDP)
African Mask Scaled Up
36" African mask: It was printed in 6.5 hours, compared to 45 hours via traditional FDM large-format printing.
Gel Dispensing Printing (GDP)
Elroy Bobble Head Scaled Up
A classic Elroy Bobblehead toy was 3D scanned and converted into a printable file. The model was printed in 9 days and then professionally smoothed, painted, and assembled.
FDM/FFF Printing
Dragon Head Film Prop
A large dragon or demon creature was needed as a prop to enhance the CGI version while filming a movie. The body of the dragon was made with traditional foam-cutting methods, but the details in the head required 3D printing.
FDM/FFF Printing
13' Tall Coca-Cola Bottle Form
A 13' tall Coca-Cola bottle was 3D printed as a hollow shell in 5 pieces to be assembled, smoothed, and then used as a form to create two fiberglass versions, which were then wrapped and used on the ESPN College Game Day set.
FDM/FFF Printing
Crown Molding Restoration
Five large crown molding 3D prints were needed to create molds to cast parts in cement. Each was roughly 24" x 18" x 10" large, and the total print time was 300-350 hours.
FDM/FFF Printing
Building Construction Model
A construction company was developing a complicated structure and was having difficulty planning its approaches due to the unique overhangs. The commissioned 3D model helped them plan properly and stay on schedule.
