3D printing has become an increasingly popular technology in the last few years, with many home-based projects now being easily achievable with the use of a 3D printer. However, the technology has now advanced to the point where companies like Anker, Bambu, Prusa and Creality have developed 3D printers that have been optimized for speed.
Anker is a technology company that recently developed a mainstream 3D printer, the Anker X2. This 3D printer is optimized for production speed and high quality parts. It uses dual extruders, allowing for multiple materials to be printed in the same job, and can produce parts up to 16cm x 16cm x 16cm. It also features a heated bed and automated bed leveling, allowing for precise and consistent results.
Bambu is another 3D printer producer, who are primarily targeting the amateur and hobbyist market. Their flagship product is the Bambu Mini, a pre-assembled 3D printer which comes at an affordable price. What sets the Bambu Mini apart is its ability to print quickly with a resolution of 0.in. The printer also features a heated bed and automated bed leveling.
Prusa is perhaps the most well-known 3D printer manufacturer on the market, and they’re no strangers to pushing the boundaries of speed. The Prusa i3 MK3 Printer is a popular choice among hobbyists, and it can consistently produce quality parts with a resolution as low as 0.2mm. The Prusa i3 Mk3 features a heated bed and automatic bed leveling, as well as a filament sensor that pauses printing if the filament runs out in order to prevent failed prints.
Finally, Creality is a Chinese company that offers both professional and hobbyist 3D printers. Their Creality Ender 5 Pro has proven to be a popular choice for enthusiasts, as it prints with a resolution of 0.in and a speed of 20-50mm/s. The Creality Ender 5 Pro also has a heated bed and automatic bed leveling to ensure precision.
The evolution of 3D printing technology has allowed Anker, Bambu, Prusa and Creality to create efficient and speedy 3D printers, making it easy to produce complex parts quickly at home. From amateur hobbyists to professional engineers, 3D printers suddenly have a need for speed.
