3D Printer Tests
At 3Dnatives, we prioritise high-quality 3D printing information. We therefore test the latest and most popular 3D printers on the market to show how effective they are to the world. These vary from FDM 3D printers, to SLA 3D printers, to 3D scanners.
3D Printer Test: How We Rank The Printers
The 3Dnatives Lab has conducted 3D printer tests on printers by Makerbot, Ultimaker, TierTime, and more. We therefore have 3D printer test experience to identify 3D printer characteristics like design, performance, reliability, and more!
In addition, we grade the 3D printers we test in areas such as price-performance ratio according to their target group (consumers, makers, professionals, industry), the design, efficiency, print quality, and versatility with different 3D printing materials.
We always aim to give you a conclusive and well-rounded 3D printer test. You can share your own comments with us on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
