Belt 3D Printers

If you’ve never heard of belt 3D printers, that’s because this 3D printing style hasn’t been around for that long. The first generation came about with the creation of the Blackbelt printer in 2017. Produced by Blackbelt 3D, a Dutch company, has the stated goal of finding more innovation in 3D printing.

Since then, many new companies as well as hobbyists are exploring the idea of a 3D printer that utilizes a belt bed. 3D printing forums and other media sites (like YouTube) have also helped spread its popularity.

Using a belt as a bed means you can 3D print continuously and, in addition to regular models, you can print extremely large parts or mass produce smaller items.
