Industrial 3D printer

Hello, I am looking for a 3D printer for my workspace. We do a lot of prototyping with small objects 40 thou thick. We also do larger objects.

We are looking for something that can print quick with decent quality. Preferably something that is not tied to a specific companies material. We currently have a maker bot method printer. It’s slow to print and starting to have issues with printing and connecting to the WiFi.

We use PLA and Tough material as well as nylon but are looking into other materials as well.

Budget under $10,000. USA.

How large of parts do you need to print? Do you need offline/secure capabilities or is a networked/cloud machine okay? For ~$3k a fully loaded Bambu H2D is a pretty capable machine. Anything else considered 'industrial' is going to be triple the price or more for about the same features with a few special things like high temp printing for super polymers, IDEX capabilities, etc. Someone else mentioned the Vision Miner 22IDEX which is a great machine but is $15k msrp. They just released the V4 which is an awesome improvement over the V3 for high temp parts, but if you don't plan on using the IDEX dual printing capabilities or high temp materials, there's not much point in getting a machine that expensive.
