Which 3D printer suits you best?


There are many different 3D printers available and the prices also vary widely. To make the choice a little easier, we have listed the most important properties per printer for you below. If you would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact us! We are happy to help you.

Printing technique

Roughly speaking, there are two types of 3D printers, printers that work with FDM/FFF and printers that work with SLA/DLP technology. We have prepared a separate decision aid for both 3D printers, below you will find more information about the printing techniques.

FDM/FFF (Most Popular Choice)

3D printers that print with FDM/FFF use filament. The printer builds an object by stacking molten filament layer by layer. This is done based on a predetermined model.

SLA/DLP

In 3D printers using SLA/DLP, an object is created by selectively curing a polymer resin layer by layer using a UV laser beam. The materials used for this are light-sensitive, thermosetting polymers that are used in liquid form, also called resin.
