Comparison of 3D Printers

Overview

While there are many advanced 3D printing technologies, it is the low-cost ones that are of primary interest to OSE. The end goal of 3D printing technology is low-end 3D printers able to fabricate more advanced designs semi-autonomously. Achieving this Digital Fabrication objective has fairly wide-reaching economic implications.
