About 15 years ago I looked at 3d printers for an engineering team. Between $20,000 and $50,000 range. The best option was a powder based system. Parts were fragile, print time was slow, clean up was a pain.

One of our customers was using an SLA system…parts were fragile, print time was slow…clean up was a pain.

Now I have a 3d filament printer in my shop that cost me less than $1,000, and doesn’t have any of those issues. Of course it’s not mounted on a robotic arm.

If you throw billions of dollars at a problem, you will always get the most expensive solution.
