TCT Buyer Guidance
Questions for Your 3D Systems Evaluation
Which process category best fits your application? 3D Systems spans five distinct AM technologies. The breadth of portfolio is an advantage for organisations exploring multiple AM processes, but each technology has different strengths — metal PBF for structural parts, SLA for surface finish, MJP for multi-material, SLS for functional polymers, and pellet extrusion for large-scale tooling.
Are you looking for a single-vendor strategy? Consolidating across 3D Systems' portfolio can simplify procurement, service, and training. But evaluate each system on its own merits against category-specific competitors — breadth of range does not automatically mean best-in-class in every category.
What is your materials requirement? 3D Systems has one of the largest validated material libraries in the industry, including dental-specific, casting, and engineering-grade materials. Check whether your specific material and application combination has a validated parameter set, or whether development work is required.
What does your production workflow look like? For VPP and MJP, post-processing (washing, curing, support removal) is a significant part of total cycle time. For metal DMP, powder management and heat treatment are critical. Evaluate total workflow, not just print capability.
