We have a range of 3D printers with differing build volumes - if you have a small model pretty much any of the printers will work, but if you have a larger model then you might be restricted to a few machines - unless you break it into multiple parts.

We have a range of 3D printers with differing build volumes - if you have a small model pretty much any of the printers will work, but if you have a larger model then you might be restricted to a few machines - unless you break it into multiple parts.

FDM/FFF Process Printers

All units in millimetres.
Make Model Build Plate Size Max. Print Height
Ultimaker 2+ 223 x 223 205
Ultimaker 2+ Extended 223 x 223 305
Ultimaker 3 Extended 215 x 215 300
Ultimaker S5 330 x 240 300

DLP Process Resin Printers

All units in millimetres.
Make Model Build Plate Size Max. Print Height
Peopoly Phenom L 340 x 190 400
Anycubic Photon Mono M5s 200 x 218 120

SLS Process Printers

All units in millimetres.

Formlabs Fuse 1 165 x 165 300

The Formlabs Fuse 1 differs from our other 3D printers because it prints in 3D space by selectively sintering nylon powder. Because of this, the entire build volume can be used instead of just what will fit onto the build plate.
