The supply of 3D printers is also a science.
At a time when industry 4.0 accelerates penetration, 3D printing goes from the development of prototypes to terminal manufacturing, and its scope of application is constantly expanding. However, faced with the complex ecosystem of hundreds of models and thousands of materials on the market, many companies are trapped in the dilemma of “inactive equipment at inactive prices” or “an error between performance and demand”. So much so that the way of accurately corresponding to commercial needs and finding really applicable 3D printing solutions has become an urgent problem.
Based on our experience, here are some common and practical suggestions.
When buying a 3D printer, first clarify the objective, then determine the budget and finally choose the appropriate model according to your needs.
1. Determine the objective
If you are used for industrial production or the manufacture of large -scale prototypes, you can choose SLM, SLS, SLA or FDM models of industrial quality; In terms of printing materials, the FDM is commonly used in the carbon fiber PLA, etc., which is suitable for functional parts; Metal parts.
2. Budget scope
If the budget is at the level of a thousand yuan, the selection range is relatively limited, and it is mainly an entry -level FDM model, suitable for beginners and DIY players. If the budget is increased to almost 10,000 yuan, high -end FDM or LCD optical hardening models can be taken into account, which generally have higher precision and more stable printing performance. When the budget reaches tens of thousands of yuan or more, you can choose production equipment at the company level, which is suitable for professional manufacturing and small -scale production. If the budget is as high as hundreds of thousands, or even millions, you can consider SLS / SLM equipment at the factory level to meet the needs of manufacturing on a large scale of industrial quality.
3. Basic parameters
When choosing a 3D printer, the basic parameters are crucial. Here, we mainly take the FDM that we know as precision. Compatibility is affected by factors such as closed rooms and heating beds, which directly determines the printing effect of special materials such as ABS and nylon.
In short, when buying a 3D printer, first understand the goal, the budget and the needs, then choose the right model. If you are just a funny ticket, a few thousand FDM yuan are sufficient; If you buy the right one, you will get the result twice with half of the effort.
The above are certain common precautions for the purchase of 3D printing machines, but in real purchases, factors that affect selection are often more complex, involving specific application needs, budgetary restrictions, equipment maintenance costs, after-sales service and other aspects, which makes final decisions more difficult.
Then, if you can have a complete buyer guide as a reference before buying, this can considerably reduce the difficulty of choice, make decisions more precious and practical, avoid the traps and find the 3D printing solution that suits your own needs most.
Here we recommend the latest outing of Reing3D Fuzhi technology“2025 Guide to the commercial printing equipment buyer”Specially adapted to the company’s R&D, the automation of factory, universities and research institutions, to select with precision, to avoid traps and to save concerns, and to cost cost and to improve efficiency!
Reveal the real investment throughout the equipment cycle of the equipment: this guide helps companies to avoid invisible expenses and guarantees that supply decisions are more profitable thanks to the three -dimensional assessment model of the “equipment price × consumption of materials × maintenance”!
Complete comparison of technical routes
The FDM / FFF, photocure and metal additives are no longer “stupid”: this guide combines practical applications and analyzes the scope of the application of each process to help companies accurately correspond to the most appropriate technical solutions.
Horizontal evaluation equipment + selection of materials
Compared to popular models such as reasoning3D Pro3 HS, E2CF, DF2, etc., it is associated with more than 30 materials, covering engineering plastics, high performance plastics and photocural resins, to meet the needs of high -speed corrosion resistance.
Buy White Paper
From parameter parameter traps to the after-sales warranty, the risk aversion guide: to reveal the “understanding of the precision misunderstanding”, you learn to distinguish the roughness of the repetitive precision of industrial quality and does not work on the mines when purchasing equipment and avoid spending money in vain!
Start by choosing an appropriate 3D printer!
This supply guide covers traditional FDM / DLP technologies, focusing on products under Fuzhi technology. But even if you plan to buy equipment from other brands, this guide is always of high reference value and can help you make selection decisions more precisely and in depth.
