BCN3D - Professional 3D Printer - Epsilon W27 IDEX FDM

The BCN3D Epsilon W27 is a high-performance professional 3D printer designed for manufacturing solid, functional parts using industrial-grade materials. Thanks to its FDM/FFF technology and generous print volume of 420 x 300 x 220 mm, this equipment allows for the production of large components with complex geometries and millimeter precision, overcoming the limitations of conventional manufacturing systems.

Equipped with the revolutionary Independent Dual Extrusion (IDEX) system, the Epsilon W27 doubles workshop or engineering environment productivity through its mirror and duplication modes. Its fully enclosed print chamber with passive heating reaches up to 60 °C, ensuring optimal temperature control that prevents warping in technical filaments. Additionally, it incorporates Bondtech extruders and e3D hotends, elements that ensure smooth, reliable, and highly precise extrusion.

Designed with workplace safety in mind, it integrates a professional filtering system with HEPA H13 and active carbon filters, effectively retaining harmful particles and gases. Full connectivity via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and BCN3D Cloud, combined with a 5-inch color touchscreen, transform the printing experience into an intuitive, safe, and completely scalable process.

Key features

• Independent Dual Extrusion (IDEX) System: Allows for autonomous printing with two printheads. Multiply productivity with mirror and duplication modes, or combine materials to create complex structures with soluble supports.

• Enclosed chamber with passive heating: Maintains a constant internal temperature of up to 60 °C, ideal for preventing deformation, ensuring excellent layer adhesion, and working with technical filaments prone to warping.

• Professional Bondtech and e3D extrusion: High-end components that integrate a dual-gear system for unprecedented filament control, along with optimized hotends that ensure constant and clog-free material flow.

• HEPA and Activated Carbon Safety Filtration: Protects the working environment by effectively filtering volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and microparticles released during the melting process.

• Smart filament runout sensor: Automatically stops printing if the material runs out or breaks, preventing lost jobs and optimizing resource consumption.

• High-temperature heated bed: Capable of reaching 120 °C using a silicone thermal pad, ensuring optimal adhesion for a wide variety of thermoplastics.

Product advantages

The BCN3D Epsilon W27 stands out from market alternatives due to its genuine IDEX architecture. While traditional dual-head printers drag the inactive hotend, risking drips and color contamination, the independent system completely retracts the resting hotend, ensuring clean, professionally finished parts.

Its robust aluminum structure and fully enclosed chamber resolve common deficiencies of open printers, allowing it to process demanding technical filaments such as ABS, polyamides (PA), or polypropylene (PP) without the risk of cracks or detachment. Its versatility is multiplied by its open filament ecosystem, which gives you complete freedom to choose consumables from any external brand, complemented by validated profiles in the BCN3D Stratos software for a direct plug-and-play experience.

Ideal for

• Engineers and industrial designers: Who require rapid functional prototypes, validation of complex geometric concepts, and custom tooling with high mechanical strength materials.

• Production environments and manufacturing workshops: Companies seeking an additive manufacturing tool capable of producing short runs or doubling their performance in finished parts using mirror and duplication modes.

• Medical and educational sectors: Institutions that need to create anatomical models, customized tools, or educational parts within a safe environment thanks to its integrated purified air filters.

FAQ

What is the IDEX system and what advantages does it offer in the BCN3D Epsilon W27? The IDEX (Independent Dual Extruder) system features two extruders that move completely independently on the X-axis. This allows printing with two different materials (such as rigid filaments combined with water-soluble supports) without the risk of contamination. Additionally, it enables Duplication and Mirror printing modes, which doubles the machine's production capacity by manufacturing two identical or symmetrical parts simultaneously.

Can carbon fiber or glass fiber materials be used in this model? Yes, the Epsilon W27 is perfectly compatible with advanced composite and technical materials such as PAHT CF15 (Nylon with carbon fiber) or PP GF30 (Polypropylene with glass fiber). To work with these abrasive filaments for extended periods and prevent premature wear, it is recommended to equip the printer with the specific Hotend X, designed with hardened steel nozzles.

What maintenance does the HEPA and activated carbon filtering system require? The filtration system retains microparticles and harmful gases generated during the melting of plastics. To ensure a safe working environment free of harmful emissions, it is advisable to periodically check the status of the filters through the machine's interface and replace them according to accumulated hours of use and the type of material used.

How does the printer manage material or power loss during manufacturing? The printer integrates a mechanical filament runout sensor that detects if the material runs out or breaks, instantly pausing the job so you can replace the spool without damaging the part. Additionally, the Epsilon W27 is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Smart Cabinet module (purchased separately), which adds an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system that protects printing against power outages.

Is it compatible with third-party brand filaments or can only BCN3D filaments be used? The BCN3D Epsilon W27 features an Open Filament System. This means you can freely use 2.85 mm spools from any manufacturer on the market. The BCN3D Stratos slicing software includes pre-configured profiles for both official materials developed with chemical companies such as BASF or Mitsubishi Chemical, and for the most common brands in the sector.

What is the main difference between the BCN3D Epsilon W50 and the Epsilon W27? The only real difference between both models is the total build volume and the Z-axis height. The Epsilon W50 offers you a massive volume of 50 liters with a maximum manufacturing height of 400 mm. Meanwhile, the Epsilon W27 features a capacity of 27 liters and a maximum Z-axis print height of 220 mm. The width (X) and depth (Y) of the print bed are exactly the same on both machines.

Do the printing features, speed, or quality vary between both printers (W50 and W27)? No, not at all. Both models share the same highly engineered mechanical structure, the IDEX independent dual extrusion system, the motors, the Bondtech extruders, and the e3D hotends. This means that with either of the two, you will get exactly the same layer precision (starting from 0.05 mm), the same working speed, and the same finish quality on your parts.

Does the Epsilon W27 have the same capabilities for industrial materials as the W50? Yes, both printers are identical in terms of thermal and material compatibility. Both reach 300 °C at the nozzle, 120 °C on the silicone bed, and maintain a closed chamber with passive climate control of up to 60 °C. With either model, you can print technical filaments such as ABS, PP, PA, or carbon fiber composite materials if you install the Hotend X.

What are the differences in physical size and weight between the two machines (W50 and W27)? Due to having a shorter Z-axis travel, the Epsilon W27 is a shorter and lighter machine. Its overall height is lower, which reduces the net weight of the equipment to about 33 kg compared to the 37 kg of the W50. However, the width and depth they will occupy on your workbench or workshop are identical (690 mm x 530 mm), meaning they require the same footprint.

Are the same safety systems and filters included in the W27 model? Yes, safety is exactly the same across the entire Epsilon range. Both the W27 and the W50 incorporate as standard an environmental safety system featuring a HEPA H13 filter and an active carbon filter to retain microparticles and gases. They also equally include the safety pause function if you open the door during the manufacturing process.

Which of the two models (W50 or W27) is the most suitable for my business?

• Choose the Epsilon W50 if you need to manufacture very tall parts, large-scale industrial tools, or high-volume prototypes without having to section them in the software.

• Choose the Epsilon W27 if your standard components, jigs, or fixtures do not exceed 22 cm in height. It offers you the exact same professional and technological performance with a more budget-friendly investment.
