Hi there,

I could not find a 3D printer related sub forum in here, since it is becoming quiet a popular tool, I am wondering why. Or maybe I joust could not find it.

Anyway I am looking at prices and specs of "Metal Laser Printers" since these would be very handy in my field.

Is there a discussion about them anywhere? I searched and could not find...

I have found one on Tao Bao but it seems a bit cheap in pricing.

I'd be happy to pay 15K for a small one personally since we are still pretty early in the game...

All right, if anyone knows anything please advise!

If you're looking for a machine that's made out of metal but prints in plastic (like the one you linked to) there are lots to choose from in your price range and below, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Printrbot-Ass.../dp/B00IYC60IM.

If you're looking for a machine that actually prints in metal, then you'll need to adjust your budget upwards by a factor of 100 or so. Then you can get one of these: https://www.eos.info/systems_solutio...nt/eosint_m280

SLM type metal 3d starts at about 400k , the fiber laser unit alone for a small 200 watt is about 50k, plus galvo head. Then there is the special explosion proof vacuums required, disposing of potentially explosive air filters, argon or nitrogen supply, I think our vacuums alone are close to 15k.
