BigRep and BASF team up

BigRep and BASF signed a strategic partnership agreement to jointly develop 3D printing solutions for industrial applications. The collaboration includes the development of materials and printers for industrial customer requirements. On the other hand, BASF is investing in the company in order to further strengthen the area of 3D printing. Although BigRep was only launched four years ago, the Berlin-based company has quickly become one of the leading global providers of large-format 3D printing technology for industrial users. The announcement of a cooperation with BASF is a further reflection of its continuing dedication to engineering and manufacturing cutting-edge solutions.

 

BASF brings to the partnership extensive knowledge of materials and their industrial applications. It also has a broad portfolio of materials in the chemical industry that can be used to develop 3D printing materials.  

 

The announcement marks the second closing of a growth round initiated in the second half of last year for the Berlin-based 3D Printer manufacturer BigRep, which provides hardware, software, materials and services for large-scale 3D printing, and counts Körber Group, KfW, b-to-v Partners S.à.r.l., Koehler Invest GmbH and kloeckner.v GmbH among its investors. In addition to its headquarters in Berlin, BigRep has expanded its operations to the USA and

Singapore, and established a network of resellers across every continent.
