3D Printer Buyer's Research Guide

Finding the right 3D printer can be frustrating. Get is right with our 3D printer buyer's guide.

Find the Best Fit for your Organization and your Application

When it comes to 3D printers, one size doesn’t fit all. You have unique needs and applications that can best determine which 3D printer will be the right fit. In our 3D printer buyer guide you’ll find technology and material comparisons plus hard-to-find answers about 3D printer pricing and cost of ownership.

It’ll answer your top questions in four easy-to-follow sections:

  • Technologies – learn how each technology works, where it excels, its drawbacks and the materials it uses

  • Materials – compare material properties and get links to detailed specifications

  • Operations – learn what skills, equipment and facilities you’ll need to support each technology in-house, and purchase alternatives

  • Budget – see 3D printer price ranges and learn what to consider when calculating costs
