Which 3D Printer is Right for You?

When it comes to selecting the right printer, there is a lot to consider:

Who (and how many individuals) will use the 3D printer per semester? How often the printer will be used in a given day/week/semester? What level of 3D printing experience users have (beginner, immediate, advanced)? The size parts do you plan to print? What types of applications will your 3D printer be used for?

Based on your answers to questions like these, you may need a hobbyist level 3D printer (MakerBot, Ultimaker, FormLabs, etc.) or professional grade 3D printer (Stratasys, etc.)
