Initially transmitted to extensive industrial processes, they gained some experience in the mid-20s, when technology became affordable to smaller offices, design firms, and hobbyists. Since then, best professional 3D printers have evolved with several vectors. At low prices, high-resolution resin printers have joined filament-based (or FDM) printers in the home and hobby markets. 3D Printers with large printing zones have become available at both the low and high ends, while low-end printers are ideal for very basic heated plates needed for large printing, while high-end solutions add sealed chambers, temperature management, and cameras. Dual extruder printers are becoming more common, and pieces of software needed to produce prints are becoming more sophisticated. We are starting to see full color and metallic prints.

In this guide, we provide the best-show awards for various printer departments. We're spotlighting machines based on where they are best used. We start with the most expensive offer and end with our favorite $200-$9000 printers.
