In the beginning, the world of 3D printing was dominated by small format printers that could produce small objects with great precision. But as the demand for larger objects grew, so did the need for larger format 3D printers. The development of large format 3D printers required significant advancements in technology, including larger build platforms, stronger motors, and more robust software.
However, these advancements came at a cost. Large format 3D printers require more materials, larger and more robust components, and more complex software than their smaller counterparts. This increased complexity translates into higher costs, making large format 3D printers significantly more expensive than smaller ones.
