Professional 3D printers for business and education

Which 3D printer is right for your application?

A 3D printer turns digital designs into physical parts by building them layer by layer. Choosing the right printer depends strongly on what you want to make, which materials you want to use and your requirements for accuracy, size, speed and mechanical performance.

FilRight supplies 3D printers for prototyping, product development, engineering, education and professional production. Our range extends from compact FDM systems to resin printers, large-format machines and industrial SLS solutions.

We therefore look beyond specifications alone. We first consider your application and help you determine which 3D printing technology and machine best fit what you want to produce.

FDM, resin or SLS: which 3D printing technology should you choose?

Different 3D printing technologies each have their own strengths.

FDM / FFF 3D printing

FDM or FFF printers build parts layer by layer using thermoplastic filament. The technology is highly versatile and well suited to prototypes, functional components, tools, jigs & fixtures and small production runs.

Depending on the printer, materials can range from PLA, PETG, ABS and ASA to a wide variety of engineering and fibre-reinforced filaments.

FDM is an excellent choice when functionality, material choice and relatively low production costs are important.

Resin / DLP 3D printing

Resin printers produce parts from liquid photopolymer resin that is cured using light. This enables very fine details, smooth surfaces and high accuracy.

The technology is particularly suitable for detailed prototypes, design models, small technical parts and applications where surface quality is important.

For professional resin production, FilRight also offers solutions in which printing, washing and curing can be integrated into a complete workflow.

SLS 3D printing

Selective Laser Sintering uses polymer powder instead of filament or liquid resin. A laser fuses the material layer by layer to produce strong, functional parts.

One of the main advantages of SLS is that separate support structures are generally not required. This makes it possible to produce complex geometries efficiently while making effective use of the available build volume.

SLS is particularly suitable for engineering, functional prototypes and small to medium production runs.

From desktop printing to industrial production

Not every application requires the same type of 3D printer.

For design, education and everyday prototyping, a professional desktop machine may be all you need. Larger components, engineering materials, continuous operation and series production place very different demands on build volume, temperature management, material handling and reliability.

FilRight therefore offers different types of 3D printing systems, including:

• professional desktop 3D printers;
• dual-extrusion FDM systems;
• large-format 3D printers;
• resin and DLP systems;
• industrial printers for engineering materials;
• SLS systems for professional production.

This allows you to choose a solution that not only fits the part you want to make today, but also the way you intend to use 3D printing within your organisation.

Professional 3D printer brands

FilRight works with a range of professional 3D printing brands and solutions, including Raise3D, Mingda, WASP and Zaxe.

Rather than selecting a machine based on brand name alone, we look at the applications in which each system performs best. This may include reliable daily production, large build volumes, engineering materials, high levels of detail or specific industrial processes.

By offering different technologies and systems, we can help you compare the available options and select a printer that matches both your requirements and budget.

Materials define what you can make

The capabilities of a 3D printer are strongly influenced by the materials it can process.

FDM materials range from easy-to-print thermoplastics to strong engineering and fibre-reinforced filaments. Resin printing provides materials with different properties for detail, strength and specialised applications. SLS systems use engineering polymer powders to produce strong and complex functional parts.

Combining 3D printing and 3D scanning

An existing component does not always have to be redesigned from scratch. A 3D scanner can digitise physical objects and provide a starting point for reverse engineering, product development, inspection or reproduction.

Combining 3D scanning with 3D printing creates a complete workflow from physical object to digital model and back to a newly manufactured part.

FilRight supplies and demonstrates both technologies and can help you create a workflow that fits your application.

See and test a 3D printer at FilRight

Specifications do not always tell the complete story. At our showroom in IJsselstein, the Netherlands, you can see and test a range of professional 3D printers.

If you have a specific application, material or part in mind, you are welcome to bring a file or sample with you. During a demonstration, we can evaluate print quality, materials, speed, workflow and the practical differences between different systems.

This gives you a much clearer understanding of which 3D printer is best suited to your application.

Advice, installation and technical support

Choosing a professional 3D printer does not end with purchasing the machine. Proper installation, suitable settings and a good understanding of materials are equally important for reliable production.

FilRight supports you with expert advice, demonstrations, installation, training and technical support. After delivery, we remain available to help with questions about the machine, materials and applications.
