Hi guys, i'm just trying to get an idea of where the market is at right now in terms of the cost of purchase and set-up for a decent metal capable 3d printer that will do (at a minimum) stainless and aluminium, or higher end machines that will also do titanium.
Looking at a smaller sized machine that would be able to produce strong, useable parts without the need to have a separate sintering furnace. Small prototypes to small-medium producion of very small (hand-held sized parts) would be the intended use.
Sales guys down here so far have been pretty cagey on pricing for getting a machine set up and running, though i was just hoping to cut through the BS and get some indicative pricing and options from someone on here who might have been down this track already?
Thanks, Dean.
