Shopping for a high-end/professional grade 3D printer can be a long and tedious task, especially with such a saturated market. There is such a wide range of options out there for premium 3D printers, but which printer is right for you? When you are willing to invest so much money you want the very best.

That’s why we have made this list of the best premium 3D printers available to buy at Technology Outlet. We have used and tested all of the 3D printers that appear on this list. We use some of them very frequently and all would make an excellent choice.

Raise 3D (Pro 2 & Pro 2 Plus) - From £3,778.80

The Raise 3D Pro 2 is the best consumer-grade 3D printer on the market. If you want the very best and money is no issue for you then look no further. The Pro 2 series brings top-end professional 3D printing to a price point that is under £5,500. This is quite remarkable, especially when you consider that the price of something similar a few years ago would be touching six figures.

The Raise 3D Pro 2 Plus comes with a very generous 305 x 305 x 605mm build volume, giving you a lot of room for bigger prints. Other important features to note are excellent build quality, 0.01 layer resolution, HEPA filter, professional grade heat management and great built-in software.
