BigRep DRYCON Industrial Filament Dry Cabinet & Annealing System
Three-in-one
The BigRep DRYCON is a professional-grade, all-in-one solution that combines industrial filament dry storage, active drying, and a part annealing system in a single cabinet. Designed for demanding production environments, it protects moisture-sensitive filaments to ensure consistent extrusion and optimal mechanical properties in every print. Whether you're running engineering-grade materials like PA, ABS, or fiber-reinforced composites, the DRYCON keeps your filament in peak condition from storage to print.
Key Features of the BigRep DRYCON:
- 3-in-1 functionality: filament dry cabinet, high-capacity storage, and annealing system in one unit
- Protects moisture-sensitive filaments including PA, ABS, ASA, TPU, and fiber-reinforced composites
- Annealing capability improves dimensional stability and mechanical strength of finished 3D-printed parts
- High-capacity design suits industrial and professional production workflows
- Engineered to complement BigRep large-format 3D printers and open-platform material ecosystems
- Reduces print failures and inconsistencies caused by filament moisture absorption
- Supports a wide range of engineering and high-performance filament types
Maximum Workflow Flexibility
Two independently controlled chambers give you the freedom to dry and store filament at precise temperatures while simultaneously annealing printed parts — all within a single cabinet footprint. This versatility makes the DRYCON an efficient hub for advanced industrial 3D printing operations handling multiple materials and spool sizes.
- Upper and lower chambers operate independently for parallel workflows.
- Accommodates spool sizes from 0.75 kg up to 8 kg per chamber.
- Supports large-part production in demanding industrial environments.
Efficient Moisture Removal
The DRYCON's active air exchange system circulates up to 200 m³/h of fresh air through each chamber, continuously displacing humid air to remove moisture from filament efficiently. This approach maintains stable drying conditions throughout each cycle while consuming less energy than conventional filament drying methods.
- 200 m³/h air exchange rate for fast, effective moisture removal.
- Maintains consistent internal conditions throughout the drying cycle.
- More energy-efficient than traditional filament drying methods.
Active Filament Drying
Moisture is one of the leading causes of failed prints, stringing, and poor layer adhesion. The DRYCON actively removes moisture from your filament spools, ensuring materials like PA, TPU, and fiber-reinforced composites perform exactly as intended from the first layer to the last.
- Prevents moisture-related print defects like bubbling, stringing, and poor adhesion.
- Ideal for hygroscopic engineering-grade filaments.
- Keeps filament print-ready at all times.
High-Capacity Industrial Filament Storage
The DRYCON is built for production environments where multiple materials and spools need to be on hand and in optimal condition. Its high-capacity design means less downtime swapping materials and more time printing, making it a natural fit for industrial 3D printing operations.
- Stores multiple filament spools simultaneously in a controlled environment.
- Designed for industrial and professional production workflows.
- Keeps your material inventory dry, organized, and accessible.
For Stronger Prints
Beyond filament drying, the DRYCON doubles as an annealing system for completed 3D-printed parts. Annealing relieves internal stresses and enhances the dimensional stability and mechanical strength of parts; a critical step for functional, end-use components made from high-performance materials.
- Improves mechanical strength and thermal resistance of printed parts.
- Reduces internal stresses for better dimensional accuracy.
- Supports post-processing of engineering-grade and high-temperature materials.

Streamline Your System
Four filament outlets feed the material directly into your BigRep 3D printer. This eliminates the need for separate storage or manually transferring filament to the 3D printer. Making for a hassle-free printing process that streamlines drying, and storage. We recommend pairing your DRYCON with the ALTRA 280 and IPSO 105.
