Choosing a 3D Printer

Thursday July 11, 2019 at 12:04pm

In our experience there are 4 key questions to ask yourself:

Is this your first 3D printer?
What is the maximum size I will need to build 90% of the time?
How critical is surface finish to me?
What mechanical properties does my part need?

Once you have answers to the above questions you are able to focus in on 2 or 3 printers that are market leaders in their required fields. To learn more please check out the full post here on SOLIDPRINT3D.
