10 Reviews: Best 3D Printers for Professionals (Apr 2024)

Let’s start with the most cost-effective one. Monoprice 15365 Select Mini 3D Printer V2 put a price tag under 200 dollars. With a reasonable price, you can improve your skills at home. All setup is made easy with a small footprint that is compact enough for a small workspace. It comes fully assembled so you can start printing right out of the box!

Owned many 3D printers, however this one is by far the best. It's a workhorse that is reliable, fast, feature packed, and sturdy. Never have I used a 3D printer with such a sturdy high quality build. Additionally, for the price, it out does ANY printer. From fast prints to detailed prints, this thing is awesome. It also uses pretty generic parts, so fixing it (although rarely if ever needed) is cheap and easy! Recommend for beginners and for professionals!

The next is QIDI Technology X-One Single Extruder 3D Printer which comes in fun colors like toys yet it works like a pro. This product is only slightly cost more than Monoprice. The printer ships with a 1-kilogram roll of PLA filament to get your printing started. It has a durable double-thick metal that stays stable no matter how long you use it.

Excellent! Highly recommended Printer for pros or those who are looking for their first 3d printer experience.

Photon Mono SE by Anycubic can be your choice if you are looking for a larger, faster 3D printer. The stability while in motion should be appreciated, thanks to the high-performance Z-axis, so the risk of layer shifting can be minimized. What’s more, you don’t need to spend a lot of time on bed leveling because it can be done in a few simple steps.

Very impressed - its lightning fast even compared to the Photon S! Assembly was as simple as removing the foam, plugging in, and leveling the plate - which is even easier with the new screw design for leveling.

Once you try this machine, it will be indispensable for your work. This FlashForge Creator Pro is compatible with numerous filaments, such as PLA, ABS, HIPS, PETG, TPE, TPU, and so many more. Moreover, this machine has a rough and tough workhorse that can keep going when others fail. Ideal for personal or professional use.

This was my second FlashForge printer after the finder. Definitely love the duel extruders and the heated bed, allows for a lot more possibilities. Amazing print quality, after over 200 big prints only jammed once. Definitely recommend FlashForge and this printer for professionals and hobbyists.

This one is perfect for home use with a great price tag to boot. Dremel Digilab 3D20 can work countless hours to bring your imagination to life with high-quality printing. You can leave it running all night long without worrying about stopping halfway. No more pending projects with this reliable printer.

This is the second 3D20 we buy for the office to create prototypes and small-production parts (see quadcopter pictures, the orange parts are printed on the 3D20 for flight hardware). It is a great printer, even for a professional environment like ours and at a great price!

Let’s move to MakerBot Replicator Desktop 3D Printer which almost hits the $2000 budget. The design is modern, clean, and gives a professional impression. It is equipped with an on-board camera so you can remotely monitor your print progress. With a build volume of 11.6 x 7.6 x 6.5 in, you can make miniature cities with amazing details.

This printer is just amazing. I print smaller parts and they are very clean. I use nothing but Purl Scientific 1.75mm filament with this printer as it seems to work best. Just an amazing machine!!!

This all-black 3D printer is made of a robust steel frame and CNC machined cast aluminum construction which is essential to keep it stable when printing at high speeds. The huge build volume definitely gives you more space to play. MakerGear M2 Desktop 3D Printer is ideal for professionals who have intermediate to advance experience.

I've had one for over a year now. I have used it regularly. I am a 3D design professional with a good amount of experience with 3D printing and other forms of rapid prototyping. This machine is reliable, well designed / manufactured and produces quality prints with relative speed. Tech support is great as well. I can not recommend purchasing more. Don't hesitate to buy and help to support this great company.

Ultimaker 2+ offers four different nozzle sizes from 0.25 to 0.80 millimeters that you can swap out to obtain better details with a speedy print. That’s why it is perfect if you work with highly detailed print. Despite the high price, the 20 microns resolution leads to a printed part with a very smooth finish without highly visible print lines. Perfect for handling your masterpiece

Well, this is the priciest product on this list. As a professional, of course, you don’t only need machines that perform well but also last for ages. The Zortax M200 is the answer. The rock-solid construction tops the chart and it gives unmatched detail as well as quality printing. It supports wireless connectivity by WiFi, making your 3D printing experience even better.

I bought my first M200 about 4yr ago. The second M200 was acquired about 1 1/2yrs ago. Right out the box, it was printing great parts. I did upgrade the bed and heater on both last year. I don't use them all the time but when I do, I hit go and walk out of the room. When you hear others talk about tweaking setting. I laugh and just show them my last print. Looking at getting M300 dual ext. just for the extra bed size. Not sure if I could give up my M200s.
