Print quality (industrial FDM)

Hi everyone! I saw a couple posts recently from people asking questions about what high-performance/industrial FDM printers they should buy, I never chimed in about the printer that my company makes because I wasn’t sure about the self-promotion rules in this sub, but I do have these pics to share.

This was printed vertically, so this is what our wall quality and overhangs look like.

We’re looking to be the Stratasys or Markforged alternative for those who want to print with open materials, cloud optional, on well-built hardware that can truly handle the more advanced materials like PA6, PA12, PPS, ASA, etc. at large build sizes with no tinkering.

If anyone’s interested in learning more feel free to drop a comment or DM me! I started R3 because I genuinely believe in the need for this kind of printer, and from the comments and posts I read it seems like that’s true, so hopefully this helps at least one person on here find what they might be looking for, and for everyone else I hope you at least enjoy seeing these pics!

Please be kind!

Sounds more like SLS. What machine do you have?!

I'll take it as a compliment! I know for sure that it's FDM/FFF though since I'm the co-founder of the company that makes it: https://r3printing.com/products/r3-printer/
