3D Printing is a popular and valuable technology in the hobbyist, design, and industrial worlds. As a dramatic departure from the traditional subtractive manufacturing technique, both at-home and industrial 3D Printers employ an additive manufacturing approach to create 3D objects layer by layer.

As a result, 3D Printing allows for quick prototyping, durable small-batch end-use parts and efficient tooling applications whilst lowering material and labour costs for both commercial and consumer applications.

But deciding on 3D Printers can be complicated, as there are various models available on today’s market – with each model offering unique features, positives and negatives depending on the user’s application. Significantly this article will dissect the few major distinctions between consumer desktop printers and lab-level industrial 3D Printers.

Hobbyist & Industrial 3D Printers: Ease of Use & Accuracy

Though home 3D printers are perfect for printing a few things like Baby Yodas. On a larger scale, hobbyist 3D Printers have print limitations (typically with tolerances of ± 0.5 mm), require frequent calibration, and frequent maintenance. For example, it’s common a user will have to reprint once, twice, three, or four times to get the 3D Printing 100% precise.

Thus, most home 3D printers can provide acceptable print quality; however, the results achieved are highly dependent on the abilities and experience of the person running the printer, and end-print models often take additional processing time.

Professional industrial 3D printers, on the other hand, are designed for reliability, speed, performance, and large batch printing. Even today, users of industrial 3D printers don’t require tons of complex training to operate the machine as most machines are so highly automated, they can run independently from the user.

While hobbyist 3D desktop printers are not far behind, industrial 3D Printers facilitates the printing of complex structures and allows for a smoother surface unmatchable to the hobbyist models. Industrial 3D printers deliver high accuracy mass printing with a minor error tolerance of up to ± 0.15 mm.

Hobbyist & Industrial 3D Printers: Applications

Although the ease of use of desktop and industrial 3D Printers differ, it is important to understand when the hobbyist desktop printer may be utilised more successfully than the industrial versions.

Most home 3D Printers are insufficiently robust for fast prototyping in industrial applications. Hobbyists and home users who want to produce replacement parts, personalised goods, toys, and ornamental objects are the target market for desktop 3D Printer. Thus, if you want to make a prototype, you may utilise a desktop 3D printer with a print accuracy of approximately 1 to 0.5 mm.

In contrast, industrial 3D Printers offer almost an endless supply of industry applications currently utilised in the aerospace, defence, medical, consumer goods, automotive, and architectural industries. If you want to create an object with the best dimensional accuracy, repeatability, particular material characteristics (such as high strength, temperature and chemical resistance etc.), and large dimensions (more than 200 x 200 x 200 mm), you will need to utilise an industrial 3D Printer.

Hobbyist & Industrial 3D Printers: Cost

The cost of desktop 3D printers and industrial 3D printer prices are a significant distinction when choosing between the two devices. With the growth in popularity of desktop 3D printers, the cost of owning and operating a hobbyist printer has dropped substantially. But as a buyer, you must not only consider the cost of the machine, but by the materials and maintenance, it requires. For example, well-made, better materials are less expensive because they tend to be replaced less often.

Furthermore, the best 3D Printer for you should be determined by which printer will save you money in the long term. For example, there is a way to save money in the long term by spending more initially, with the Markforged Mark Two.

Designers and engineers will use the Mark Two to substitute machined aluminium tooling with stronger parts for a fraction of the cost. Incorporating commercial 3D Printing with unique continuous carbon fibre reinforcement and distinctive software with flexible parts that are ready to use right away and have up to 26 times the strength of normal 3D printing products like ABS.

Thus, the best 3D Printer price depends entirely on what you wish to achieve. For factory and production manufacturing, High Accuracy, large format printers would best suit. For engineering designs, you’ll need to decide if a higher performance printer is worth the extra few thousand dollars. For smaller-scale shops like jewellery designers or sculptures, resin SLA printers can produce fine and intricate details.

Why Choose a Consumer/Personal/Hobbyist 3D Printer?

Consumer 3D printing seeks to mimic the professional 3D printing experience on a smaller scale and for a lower price. For basic applications, where a user has the luxury of time and tinkering, these are a great way to get your feet wet with 3D printing.

When used in a professional environment, however, these printers may provide somewhat underwhelming results. Due to the limitations of personal/hobbyist 3D Printers, these businesses will eventually need to switch to a professional FDM 3D Printer.

Why Choose a Professional/Industrial 3D Printer?

When you upgrade to an Industrial 3D Printer, one of the biggest improvements you’ll notice is the simplicity of usage. These printers are intended to be trade tools, and as such, they are meant to function perfectly right out of the box, set up to operate with the proper material immediately, so the user doesn’t have to worry about print failures, part performance, melt temperature, build tray preparation, etc.

Metal 3D printing has risen to fame as a game-changer of manufacturing, showing great promise and created public hype. Recently, metal 3D printing has become more available, scalable, and durable, providing enough tangible utility that most companies are beginning to incorporate the technology into their workflow.

But the technology is still relatively new, and there is much unknown about their complex systems, so let’s explore the four leading types of metal 3D printing processes and two world-leading metal 3D printing manufacturers offered at Emona Instruments.

Overall, in this article, you will learn about the technical and logistical advantages of using metal 3D printing – including how they work, their benefits, key considerations and where these technologies are used today.

Metal FFF 3D Printing

Metal FFF, also known as Bound Powder Extrusion, is the most affordable and safe metal 3D printing process currently available.

This method uses metal injection moulding media – metal powder bound together in waxy polymers – as a bound powder feedstock. Bound Powder Extrusion systems use a debinding system and a sintering furnace to completely convert printed parts into metal. Bound Powder Extrusion machines are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications due to their usability and a well-known design for the FFF process.

Metal FFF printers are relatively safe, requiring less PPE and training. With a high-first part yield, metal FFF offers a broader availability of material options than other metal printers. On the downside, Metal FFF carries some design and operation considerations. For example, the FFF process is not well suited to complex lattice structures

Powder Bed Fusion 3D Printing

Powder bed fusion is the most mature and widely used method of metal 3D printing. These systems work via a Laser or Electron Beam-mounted on the gantry, which precisely fuses the metal powder together, building the object powdered layer by powdered layer. After printing, end pieces are depowdered and post-processed as needed.

Powder bed fusion remains the market-leading metal printer since its manufacture over 20+ years ago, and the system can create components that none of the other Emona 3D Printers listed here can. From ultra-complex geometries, large parts, and large fully dense parts, to name a few. Although, powder bed fusion is expensive to acquire, install and operate, and requires a skilled operator to run with expensive PPE.

Powder bed fusion has been adopted by industries known for ultra-specialised, high-performance applications, such as aerospace, automobile, and medical. Slowly as more industries operate these types of machines, the increased competition will help drive more financially accessible machines.

Binder Jetting 3D Printing

Binder jetting is a new type of metal 3D Printer technology with many potentials. This system forms parts in a two-step procedure by adhering loose metal powder together using advanced liquid polymer binders, producing lightly bound parts that can be sintered in batches.

More specifically, an inkjet-style print head deposits a specialised binder on a bed of metal powder during the printing process. After each layer is printed, the system deposits more powder on top, equivalent to powder bed fusion, and repeats the print and spread process until the pieces are completed. Then the delicate parts are carefully depowdered before being sintered, where the binder is burned away, and the components are fused together to form entirely metallic sections.

While binder jetting machines are priced between Metal FFF and Powder Bed Fusion Printers, much is still unknown about the end parts’ durability, repeatability, and complexity constraints. Despite the unknown considerations, the binder jetting printing process is extremely fast and can fabricate many parts simultaneously, making these machines a great candidate for metal printing mass production.

Direct Energy Deposition (DED) 3D Printing

Powder or Wire fed DED machines use an Arc, Plasma, electron beam or Lasers to create a meltpool on the surface of a substrate. Powder or Wire feedstock is then fed into the meltpool to build up the part/feature at high deposition rates.DED machines are typically used for Prototyping, cladding, Repair, re-surfacing or feature additions.

The end results are often “Near Net Shape” lower resolution surface finishes that can be machined to a precision finish. As such, DED print engines are increasingly being offered with Machine Tool integration for Hybrid Manufacturing (Additive and subtractive).

The cutting-end technology of commercial 3D printers can be a truly great asset to your business, but alike all technology, it may not suit every business…

If correctly utilised by small businesses, there are an abundant number of benefits that can ensure business success. From reducing costs, optimised business efficiency and enhanced product construction, providing a competitive advantage ahead of industry competitors.

3D printing can allow a business to climb its industry, but the common misconceptions surrounding 3D technology often discourages small businesses and entrepreneurs. While some believe the technology is too futuristic, expensive and hard to use – but in reality, 3D technology is becoming more accessible, better quality and cheaper. With commercial 3D printers, your business uses fewer employees, less equipment, and fewer resources – keeping most of your manufacturing line in-house.

At Emona Instruments, we sincerely believe that most small companies should invest in 3D printing immediately, but don’t just take our word for it! We have put together this helpful guide to bust some of the myths surrounding the technology so you can discover if your business is suitable for 3D printing.

Since 2015, Emona Instruments has offered industry-leading Additive Manufacturing Products and 3D Printing Materials to industries Australia-wide, we know exactly how small companies could benefit from this form of technology.

For more expert knowledge, check out Emona’s recent article to discover how five early adopters of Industrial 3D Printers improved their business models and optimised their scope of production.

Optimised Production Lines

Without a doubt, 3D manufacturing makes production lines more efficient, 3D printing does not require a mould to create a product, so if a product requires any modifications, it can be completed easier with Production 3D Printers.

3D manufacturing makes mass-producing products possible with near-zero manual labour, thus creating the overall scope-of-product a much more affordable process. With no need to go through multiple middlemen and consultants to achieve a finalised product with commercial 3D printing. Soon the initial costs of a 3D printer will pay its self-off.

In addition, if in the rare situation where something goes wrong with your machine, replacing or fixing the broken parts of a 3D printer is a much quicker process than with traditional machinery, overall saving money and time.

More Advanced & Specialised Product Manufacturing

If your business is primarily based on creating customised products, 3D printing is the most beneficial type of technology for your business. With a build-on-demand business model, you can allow your customers to customise their product at any batch size, without many extra costs.

Product specialisation is one of the most significant advantages of additive manufacturing. Unlike traditional methods, the customisations of products are less expensive and take much less time with 3D printing. Achieving such mass-customisation into your production line expands the opportunities of your business.

Final products can be made more specialised with the accuracy of additive manufacturing which can create anything you can think of, and not just default designs. Even more complex geometries with impressive unique designs and special joints are easily accessible to 3D manufactures. For example, commercial 3D printers can create complex jigsaw-like structures which not just look good but allows your product to gain extraordinary strength and resistance.

In addition, Production 3D Printing can easily make your object weigh less, and innately your product will be lighter as the technology uses more lightweight raw materials to form the product. But other design tricks can be included in production to make the product even more lightweight – such as hallowing out your objects to make them less dense.

Better and More Affordable Prototypes

Often prototypes are essential marketing materials for businesses as they are used to attract investors and potential customers. Usually, this phase is costly and time-consuming, but Additive Manufacturing can fully optimise this process quicker and more efficient.

Prototypes are specifically beneficial to bring at trade shows and for in-store displays. Having a product sample allows your prospective clients to get a physical feel for your brand, helping you stand out from the competition. Showcase the functionality of your product without spending too much money with 3D printed prototypes.

Furthermore, with commercial 3D printers, you can create small-batch specialised products to bring with you to trade shows; for example, you can sell merch or create 3D business cards to give to potential buyers. Such little additions can make a big impression on clients and investors, ultimately representing your business as out-of-the-box creative, impressive, and a step ahead of your competitors.

Additive manufacturing will considerably improve your R&D process. The prototyping process is made more accessible and can significantly accelerate your whole product development. As a small company, you will be able to develop your project without wasting time and money.

Storage and Resource Reduction

In contrast to traditional manufacturing where the process begins with a large amount of resources requiring an ample space for storage, and then created into a product. Additive manufacturing only requires the exact amount of resources needed to create a product, optimising overhead costs and less physical storage space required.

Notably, for small businesses, storage is a common issue with expensive costs and the problem of sourcing enough physical space. Commercial 3D Printers allow for a mostly digital inventory and on-demand manufacturing, permitting a lot more feasibility within supply-chain management.
