When standard build volumes aren't enough. Export Commodity's large format capability handles oversized parts, full-scale models, architectural pieces, and large props that desktop-class printers cannot produce in a single run.

Where a typical FDM machine offers a 200 x 200 x 200mm build volume, our large format systems print at 400 x 400 x 500mm and above — in a single, continuous print with no seams or assembly joints.
For parts exceeding even large format build volumes, we use precision-fitted multi-part assembly with bonded and finished joints that are invisible in the final product. Our assembly workflow has been refined across hundreds of large-scale props, architectural models, and industrial parts.
Large format capability opens up applications not possible on standard equipment: full-scale architectural details, movie-quality props, large industrial enclosures, life-size sculptures, and oversized product prototypes. If your part is too big for a standard printer, we're the answer in Houston.
Full-block city models, building exteriors, interior spatial studies, and presentation models for design firms, real estate developers, and urban planners.
Hero props, set pieces, costume elements, and large-scale replicas at full 1:1 scale. Fast turnaround for production schedules. Paint and finish to screen-ready standard.
Custom equipment enclosures, large housings, and industrial covers in ABS, Nylon, and PC for real-world environments.
Large-scale artistic pieces, public sculpture mock-ups, gallery installations, and decorative objects at sizes no standard printer can produce in a single run.
Oversized product replicas, branded display elements, and large-format promotional pieces for trade show booths and corporate events.
Full-scale component mock-ups, ergonomic evaluation models, and large structural prototypes for aerospace program development and testing.
Our largest single-piece build volume is 400 x 400 x 500mm. For larger parts, we section the design into precision-fitted pieces that bond together seamlessly — indistinguishable from a single-piece print after finishing. We've produced parts over 1 meter in every dimension this way.
Yes. We use precision-fitted joints designed in CAD, structural adhesives rated for the material, and reinforcement features on load-bearing assemblies. The bond is typically stronger than the printed material itself.
Yes. Our post-processing team sands, fills, and primes large parts to remove layer lines and assembly seams. Final painted parts look injection-molded at normal viewing distance.
