  - "Many low-cost 3D printers have been brought to market over the last couple of
    years. Most of them apply a Fused Layer Manufacturing (FLM) process, and have
    made 3D printing a great success amongst hobbyists, the maker community and students.
    One drawback of such inexpensive equipment is a limited build envelope, which
    prevents this from becoming a significant contributor to industrial production.
    To overcome these limits, it is not sufficient to simply upscale dimensions, but
    the overall concept of such machines must be completely re-thought, as well as
    the concepts behind several building blocks, components and the process software
    system.\r\nProblems such as shrinkage of build material, support material and
    machine parts in combination with long printer head travels, temperature distribution
    and moisture effects all have to be solved. In addition, larger parts need longer
    process times. Therefore, reduction of process times and an increase in productivity
    are necessary in order to enable economic production.\r\nSome of these problems
    can be solved by using more than one printer head for production, by using new
    materials and inventing new nozzle systems as distinct solutions for big printers.
    Nevertheless, to solve all these problems, the development of special machines
    for large parts is necessary: not component-wise but as a whole system. Large
    parts could then be successfully produced in several industries, using large,
    inexpensive FLMmachines.\r\n@eng"
