FDM 3D printers are used for rapid production of prototypes and objects.

They are available in different models depending on what needs to be printed.

When choosing a 3D printer, consider:

• What size of object will I print?
• What will the objects be used for?
• What type of 3D printer platform do I need? (for long, narrow objects, we recommend a printer with a fixed build plate that only moves on Z-Leds)
• For Industrial materials, higher nozzle temperatures and a heated build chamber with a consistent temperature are needed.

Examples of manufacturers of respective models and suitable material choices.
