What does a $100,000+ 3D Printer have that a $100, $500, or $1,000 one doesn't? Let's find out! Huge thanks to PCBWay for supporting the channel: https://jle.vi/pcbway Over the past few years, consumer 3D printers have become REALLY cheap, and REALLY good. So many industrial 3d printer features have "trickled down" to us consumers... Even a budget 3D printer for $100 isn't THAT bad... So it really makes you wonder: what exactly do the $10,000 or $100,000+ industrial-grade, best 3D printers money can buy offer that your $250 desktop printer can’t? Which features have already hit the desktop 3D printer market, and which ones are still reserved for the professional grade ones? In this video, I take you through the range of 3D printers - from a$100 budget 3d printer, all the way up to $100,000+ best 3d printers in the world, to uncover the real differences. At each level, I'll explain which features you get, which ones you don't, and WHY that machine commands that price. After months of flying, driving, and filming all over this hemisphere to find the BEST 3D printers at every price point, I’m excited to share what I’ve learned — and give you a clear look at what the future of 3D printing might hold for all of us. By the way, a HUGE thanks to @Prusa3D , @Stratasys , and @SUPADLTD for giving me access to their industrial 3d printers!
