FDM (also called FFF) printers extrude melted filament layer by layer, SLA printers cure liquid resin with a laser or light source, and SLS printers fuse powder particles with a laser. Each process suits different materials, budgets and finish requirements, so the right choice depends on your application.
Many small businesses and workshops start with a Filament printer such as a Bambu Lab which offers a good balance of speed, running costs and part strength or they opt for Resin printers from Formlabs for fine detail, smooth surface finish and a wide range of materials.
Industrial 3D printers typically range from around £2,000 for entry-level professional filament (FFF/FDM) systems to well over £50,000 for large-format composite platforms. Additive-X can recommend a printer matched to your budget and application.
Basic desktop 3D printers can be learned quickly, but some industrial systems benefit from formal training to achieve consistent, production-ready results. Additive-X offers training, installation and ongoing technical support with printer purchases.


The X1-Carbon and P1S enable up to 16 colours for dynamic and captivating prints. Real-Time Monitoring: Stay in control with real-time tracking. Equip your printer with a 1080p camera (standard for X1-Carbon, optional for P1P) and AI recognition, accessible through the Bambu Studio slicer or Bambu Handy app.
Bambu Lab's printers embody the potential of innovative technology in conquering traditional manufacturing challenges. These printers feature advanced elements such as precise LiDAR integration, the ability to produce multi-colour prints with seamless blending, and a user-friendly mobile app for effortless remote print management. Renowned for both their speed and precision, Bambu Lab's printers stand at the forefront of 3D printing technology, pushing boundaries and setting new standards.
