3D Printers in Milan Design Week 2014

Likes 2

In April 2014 I visited the Milan Design Week in Milan where a lot of new companies presented their version of FDM machine. I am comparing them with a 3D System, one of the first companies that started producing Rapid Prototyping machinery in 1989. Evaluate your selves which is the best solution.
