If you’re in search of a large scale 3D printer big enough to print furniture, car dashboards or large ornaments for restoration purposes, you’ve come to the right place. This is an overview of the best large scale 3D printers. In order to keep things simple we’ll focus on Material Extrusion (FFF / FDM) 3D printers.
Large Scale 3D Printers
And with large scale we mean enormous. Either the x, y or the z axis should at least be 1 meter / 39.4 inches to be included in this list.
