Choosing the Right Desktop 3D Printer
Most people are still under the impression that 3D printers are expensive, take too much space and are unfit for office use. That’s why they prefer to have their parts outsourced. However, outsourcing parts requires money, time and effort. Having parts outsourced means you will spend more money to having them delivered to your end as well, which increases lead times and reduces the possibility of carrying out a smooth manufacturing process with no problems. This is why it is better to own professional desktop 3D printers, which have become affordable with proper build volumes. They are safe to use in offices, which is where you work all day. Thus, you will not need to transport parts to receive them.
Professional desktop 3D printers should provide higher throughput than others. Most 3D printers are built with plastics and acrylic. So, you might want to look for a printer which has metal construction. It might be a good idea to see them in person and check the rigidity of the printer. Nexa 3D’s XiP is built out of aluminium with an aluminium body. Its z-axis is anchored from top to bottom, which is uncharacteristic of most resin 3D printers. This results in less vibration during printing and causes better part quality. Furthermore, good results from a 3D printer can only be received if the materials are good. Some professional desktop 3D printers limit you to their materials, while others are more flexible with validated materials and the possibility to use third party materials. Nexa3D’s XiP offers you both, so that you can have an easy experience. It is also possible to achieve higher part throughput and speed while maintaining product quality.
Professional desktop 3D printers can be a good option for users who want to be hands-on with their 3D printer to achieve maximum access and want a higher end experience with improved performance and reliability.
