The difference between industrial 3D printers and desktop 3D printers
As 3D printing technology is used in more and more fields, industrial 3D printers and desktop 3D printers are more commonly heard in 3D printers. So what is the difference between an industrial 3D printer and a desktop 3D printer? Let me tell you about it.
Different range of application areas
The application field of industrial-grade 3D printers is relatively extensive, and it has its presence in many fields such as aerospace, automotive, medical, electronic products and so on. For example, Haig Technology's industrial-grade 3D printers have been used more maturely, and its 3D printed headsets and dental products can be mass-produced.
Desktop-level 3D printers are generally used to print smaller items. In the past, they were mostly used in industrial design, education, animation, archaeology, lighting and other fields. Nowadays, many desktop-level 3D printers have also expanded to the dental medical industry and are used in the dental digital production process. As a part of the digital medical model, it assists in printing the required products.
When dental products such as implant surgery guides and simulated gums are used for orthodontic teeth, doctors can directly print out the required dental products with the help of a desktop 3D printer during the diagnosis and treatment by the chair, which can greatly shorten the patient’s Treatment time. As far as I know, Haig Technology’s desktop 3D printer can provide patients with a better diagnosis and treatment experience with an immediate diagnosis and treatment experience of one hour, immediate planting, and immediate repair.
The amount of mass production is different
Desktop-level 3D printers tend to be more personalized and highly customized, like desktop-level 3D printers used in dentistry, which are mainly used for small-batch production by the chair. Most industrial-grade 3D printers are used in industrial mass production. For example, in the production of 3D printed earphones, industrial-grade 3D printers can quickly print dozens of earphone shells with a sense of design and a comfortable arc, which are generally better than traditionally made earphones in terms of speed and high precision.
The above is the main difference between industrial-grade printers and 3d printers. We can see from the two aspects of mass production capacity and application fields that the applications of these two printers are very different. Of course, industrial-grade large-size 3d printers are in price. It's also more expensive, so when you buy it, you must choose the right printer instead of overkilling.
