Industrial additive manufacturing (FDM, PolyJet) for product prototyping.
Why we recommend it
Production-grade output quality; material costs high; ongoing maintenance.
Strengths
- Production-grade output quality and repeatability
- Very wide engineering material range
- Strong support and service network
Drawbacks
- Capital cost puts it out of reach for individuals
- Proprietary materials keep running costs high
