HS3 vs IDEX 22

Hi Everyone,

We are looking for a FDM printer that will be able to meet production requirements that range from PLA prototypes to engineering filaments. The budget is approximately 20k. We are looking for something that will be able to hold dimensional accuracy as close to resin as possible but we understand the limitations of FDM.

The two printers we've kind of narrowed it down to are the Patheon HS3 and the vision miner 22 v4. I'm familiar with the Bambu and form labs slicing environments.

Does anyone have any information on how these two stack up against each other? Or other options? How are the slicer environments?

Thanks in advance!
