Grant Luttinen of Intamsys helps us understand some of the pros and cons of additive manufacturing, what is required when it comes to software and some options out there for printers as a hobbyist or professional.
We take a quick look at printing options from $1,700 to $150,000 USD, as well as printing media/materials that start from $20-40 for a spool of ABS plastic and then go to $100, $600 or more for nylon, PEEK carbon fibre and 3D printed metal options.
