Hi,

I work as a continuous improvement engineer and I’ve been discussing getting a 3D Printer for our shop here. Main applications would be:

  • Prototyping tools, jigs, parts, etc
  • Small custom parts for use on equipment

The main thing I’m struggling with is there’s so much technology and brands now! I decided to reach out for more insight. The main requirements are essentially:

  • Food safe plastic OR Metal Detectable plastic (plastic with metal impregnated)

I would appreciate any help or direction!

    Check out Formlabs resin printers. They have special resins that may do what you need. They also have sales people on staff to walk you through everything.

    They’re pretty pricey for a hobbyist (at least for this hobbyist) but a business may be ok with it.
