Product advantages

The BCN3D Epsilon W50 stands well above traditional desktop market alternatives thanks to its robust aluminum chassis and its 100% industrial focus. Unlike conventional dual extrusion systems that share the same carriage and often stain the part with burnt filament residue, the IDEX system completely retracts the inactive printhead. This translates into clean surface finishes, perfect multi-material parts, and the real possibility of printing impossible geometries using soluble support filaments like PVA or BVOH. Its direct integration with BCN3D Cloud facilitates remote control of printer fleets, offering you total control over your production costs and the design cycle from any web browser.

Ideal for

• Engineers and industrial designers: Who require full-scale functional prototypes with technical materials that simulate the final behavior of the part.

• Manufacturing and automotive plants: Ideal for the rapid creation of tooling, jigs, customized assembly fixtures, and production line tools at low cost.

• Companies with high production demand: Businesses that need to manufacture short runs of final parts, maximizing time efficiency through simultaneous dual extrusion.

• Technology centers and laboratories: Seeking a safe working environment thanks to its enclosed chamber and advanced HEPA particle filtration.

FAQ

What advantages does the IDEX system offer over a single extruder printer?

The IDEX system features two independent mechanical printheads. This allows you to double your factory's productivity through mirror and duplication printing modes, printing two parts at the same time. Additionally, it prevents contamination of colors or materials in complex parts, as the inactive printhead is retracted from the printing area, also allowing you to combine rigid and flexible materials or use soluble supports.

What industrial materials can you print with the Epsilon W50?

Thanks to the extruder reaching 300 ºC and the heated bed reaching 120 ºC, this machine excellently processes standard materials like PLA and PET-G, as well as advanced technical filaments (ABS, polypropylene PP, and polyamides PA). Using the optional Hotend X, you have full compatibility for abrasive composite filaments reinforced with carbon or glass fiber.

How does safety filtration work in office environments?

The printer incorporates an environmental safety system composed of an H13 category HEPA filter and an activated carbon filter. This system is responsible for retaining and neutralizing up to 99.97% of microparticles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released during the melting of technical plastics, guaranteeing completely clean and safe air in your workspace.

Do you need prior experience to calibrate this industrial equipment?

You don't need to perform complex manual adjustments. The BCN3D Epsilon W50 features an advanced auto-calibration assistant guided through its 5-inch touchscreen. In less than 6 minutes, the printer autonomously measures multiple points on the build plate to correct any unevenness and calculates the exact offset between both extrusion heads, ensuring you always get a perfect first layer.

What happens if the power is interrupted or the filament runs out?

The equipment features an intelligent safety pause function and a mechanical filament run-out sensor. If the material runs out or there's a power outage, the printer automatically stops, saving its exact position. Once you replenish the filament or power is restored, you can resume work from the same point without losing your part.

What is the main difference between the BCN3D Epsilon W50 and the Epsilon W27?

The only real difference between both models is the total printing volume and the Z-axis height. The Epsilon W50 offers a massive 50-liter volume with a maximum manufacturing height of 400 mm. On the other hand, the Epsilon W27 has a capacity of 27 liters and a maximum printing height on the Z-axis of 220 mm. The width (X) and depth (Y) of the print base are exactly the same on both machines.

Do the printing functions, speed, or quality vary between both printers (W50 and W27)?

No, not at all. Both models share the same high-engineering mechanical structure, the IDEX independent dual extrusion system, the motors, the Bondtech extruders, and the e3D hotends. This means that with either one, you will get exactly the same layer precision (from 0.05 mm), the same working speed, and the same quality in the finish of 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 ºC in the nozzle, 120 ºC on the silicone bed, and maintain an enclosed chamber with passive heating up to 60 ºC. With either model, you can print technical filaments like ABS, PP, PA, or composite materials with carbon fiber if you install the Hotend X.

What are the differences in physical size and weight between the two machines (W50 and W27)?

Having a shorter Z-axis travel, the Epsilon W27 is a shorter and lighter machine. Its total height is lower, reducing the net weight of the equipment to about 33 kg compared to the W50's 37 kg. However, the width and depth they occupy on your workbench or in your workshop are identical (690 mm x 530 mm), so they require the same base surface area.

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 include as standard the environmental safety system with an H13 HEPA filter and an activated carbon filter to retain microparticles and gases. They also both include the safety pause function if you open the door during the manufacturing process.

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

If you need to manufacture very tall parts, large full-scale industrial tools, or high-volume prototypes without having to section them in the software, your ideal choice is the Epsilon W50. If your usual components, jigs, or tooling do not exceed 22 cm in height, the Epsilon W27 offers the same professional and technological performance with a more adjusted economic investment.
