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, think about:
What size item will I print?
What will the items be used for?
What kind of platform on the 3D printer do I need? (for long narrow objects we recommend a printer with a fixed build plate that only moves on the Z-Led)
For Industrial materials, higher temperatures are needed on the nozzle and a heated building chamber with an even temperature
