Roboze ARGO 1000 — Technical data

The ARGO 1000 is Roboze's largest system; it was announced in July 2021, shown at Formnext 2021 and delivered from 2022. In this first version it prints filament with two high-temperature extruders up to 450 °C, and up to 8 kg of material can be loaded. The build volume measures 1,000 × 1,000 × 1,000 mm, the chamber is heated to 180 °C, and the bed holds parts by vacuum. At 3,900 × 2,250 × 2,150 mm and four tonnes it belongs in a factory hall. Since the end of 2023 Roboze has marketed the system as the ARGO 1000 HYPERMELT with pellets.

With a used first-version ARGO 1000, first establish whether it runs filament or already has a pellet extruder, and whether conversion would be possible. At four tonnes, floor load, access and crane or heavy transport must be planned in advance. The large chamber needs a lot of heating power; insulation, heaters and doors should be tight and undamaged. Vacuum pump and dryers also matter. Software, material profiles and service need to be agreed with Roboze.
