More and more enterprises are considering buying 3D printers, especially in the COVID-19 in 2020. The characteristics of 3D printing, such as flexible production, highly customizable, localized output and so on, are becoming increasingly prominent. People realize that in the rapidly changing business world, configuring a 3D printer may have a marginal effect over competitors.

Which brand of industrial 3D printer is better? How to choose 3D printer?

You may need to do two things. One is to sort out your own needs, which will help you choose a 3D printing device that is more suitable for you.
On the other hand, for the purchase of 3D printers, you need to consider the following aspects:

1. We should pay attention to the speed from data file to finished parts. What we are talking about here is the speed from data file to finished parts, not just the printing speed. It needs to consider the modeling preparation time, printing speed and the required post-processing time. Often, the time consumed by 3D printing only accounts for a small part of the time from data files to finished parts, so combined with their own needs, it is necessary to examine not only the 3D printing speed, but also the data preparation time and post-processing time.

2. Part strength does the part you print meet the mechanical performance requirements of the part? How much force to bear, how about the working temperature, the force in different directions, etc.

3. Accuracy accuracy, accuracy and repeatability depend on many factors, including part size, material, geometry, post-processing, printing direction, etc., which need to be comprehensively considered scientifically.

4. Material properties understanding the expected application and required material properties is very important for selecting the most suitable 3D printer according to your needs. Generally speaking, we hope that the materials for 3D printing and all materials for final mass production can be as close as possible, and it is best to replace them directly.

5. Aesthetics of finished products. Some applications require printing parts with visual appeal, full color or specific appearance requirements; Some applications may be purely functional, and as long as the function of the part performs as expected, the appearance of the part is irrelevant. Therefore, the aesthetics of the finished product may also be an important factor

6. Printing size and capacity each device has its own construction size and capacity, which has many possibilities for different printing processes and different target parts, and needs to be comprehensively considered in certification.

7. Initial investment and total operating costs.

8. Generally speaking, it is price and investment budget, which not only includes the price of equipment, but also includes operating costs, labor costs, etc. for example, for metal 3D printing equipment, in addition to the expensive initial equipment investment, the later daily operation consumption is also amazing. Another example is that some consumables have a valid period, and the use and holding costs are very high.

9. In addition to the above, you also need to consider the site, environmental protection, supporting equipment and other factors. For example, for resin equipment, the ventilation requirements for the site will be relatively high, which is not suitable for use in the office environment.

In short, it is not easy to choose a suitable 3D printer. You can learn about Piocreat3D. Piocreat G12 industrial 3D printer has high precision, large size, and good production speed. Only granular materials are available. You can choose print nozzles of different sizes according to your printing progress, which can basically meet most industrial needs. Secondly, major brands have their own R & D, production The after-sales team can also solve the following equipment upgrades and after-sales problems in a timely manner.
