THE BEST 3D PRINTERS UNDER $1000 BY NAME:

So, if you 're not already salivating over the prospects of owning a 3D printer, you will be in a minute. With all the capabilities they posses, you 'd never expect one of these machines to be priced within reach of the "average" consumer, but in fact, many are. While there are high-end printers, mostly used by major companies, that could easily run you 10 or 20 thousand dollars, there are numerous models available for less than one thousand. Here are a few, along with a few tantalizing details, sure to get your mouth watering.

FlashForge

FlashForge is a well-established industry leader, although they 're only recently (2011) founded. Officially referred to as Zhejiang Flashforge 3D Technology

It 's compatible with both of the primary types of filament (ABS and PLA) and features a heated print bed.

The range of models from FlashForge is fairly wide, with some prices hovering just around the thousand-dollar mark, but a few for less than half that. This company serves the needs of all 3D printing customers, from first-time home users to major manufacturers. It 's also a name that 's highly trusted in the industry.

UP! Mini 3D Desktop Printer

Beijing Tiertime Technology Co, commonly known as Tiertime, started in 2003 and is one of the most popular and successful in all of Asia. Their "Mini" line is outstanding in terms of price, features and convenience.

For around $600, the UP! Mini comes with everything you need to begin fabricating for personal or business purposes; it 's also renowned for its customer service, which is something you definitely want to look for if you 're new to 3D printing.

Since navigating your way around a 3D printer for the first time can be confusing and frustrating, particularly if something goes wrong with the machine, customer service should be high on your list of qualifications before you make a final decision on purchasing.

Despite the potential short-comings, both Da Vinci and Da Vinci Junior are affordable, practical and highly functional. XYZPrinting was founded in 2013, but is backed by a prestigious firm of more than 8,500 research and development engineers - The Kinpo Group. While based in China, they do have a stateside office, where customer service is reportedly evolving at light speed, to meet the growing demand of their vast consumer base. New Matter Mod

The New Matter MOD-3 is sleek, elegantly simple and quickly increasing in popularity. Although this company is only a few years old, (founded in 2014), it 's already recognized as an industry leader in minimizing complexity, so that the printers they produce are very user-friendly, right out of the box.

For example, the MOD-3 has eliminated the need for a heated print bed, opting instead for parts and materials that perform well on a non-heated surface. Despite its youth, New Matter is aggressive and quite capable of delivering superior performance.

    According to the author, Holweg mentions that the global supply of products created by the 3-D printer will not replace the manufacturing plant, since 3D printing competes with manufacturing processes which are responsible in forming standard parts. Customization is a significant factor in the 3-D printing industry, but many people desire specific parts already produced by their manufacturers. Therefore, users would find value in purchasing a bulk of parts instead of creating a three-dimensional model which must be printed accurately to avoid material waste. Ultimately, Holweg argues that the 3D printing technology acts as a “complement” to the manufacturing industry and should be exploited to create customized…

    Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object” (3D Print). The process starts by creating a virtual design of the object. The virtual design is made using a 3D modeling program in a CAD (Computer Aided Design) file. Another way the process can start is by using a 3D scanner which makes a 3D digital copy of an object. 3D printing is being used to make individual objects, tailoring to a need rather than replacing the assembly line, therefore, it is revolutionizing the health care side of the…

    Though there are many benefits of using 3D printing technology, there are some negative effects that consumers should be aware of. First, as 3D printing becomes more popular and widely used around the world, it could affect the international supply chain and trade relations between other countries. In the research article “Research on the Impact of 3D Printing on the International Supply Chain,” Zhen Chen, Business professor at Lingnan Normal University in China, explains that “3D printing is a rapidly developing technology” (par. 2) and it could affect the international exports/imports because the “customer is closer to the finished product” (par. 8). If the finished product is closer to the customer, there is less need for imported products…
