23 3D Printers to Drool Over

3D Printing & Imaging Workshop

This is our 3D printer shoot-out weekend at MAKE HQ, and we’re putting all the newest machines to the test in our labs. But we thought we’d give you a little preview. The machines in this gallery are not everything we’re testing this weekend, but the varieties of designs and the amazing ingenuity that have gone into them are amazing. You can tell there’s tremendous excitement in this field right now, and with it some very heavy competition. We won’t have the results of our testing ready for you until this Fall, but until them, check out the machines in the gallery above, and start salivating over your next hardware purchase!
