Small (< 200 mm³)

This category includes printers with a build volume size of less than 200mm³. These 3D printers typically have a smaller build volume and are suitable for printing small and simple objects, such as small toys, keychains, or parts for gadgets. They are ideal for beginners or hobbyists who are just starting out with 3D printing.

Standard (200-300 mm³)

This category includes printers with a build volume size of 200-300mm³. This is a common size for 3D printers and allows for printing a wide range of objects, from small to medium-sized. They can be used for printing larger toys, figurines, phone cases, small household items, and even small functional parts for machines or devices.

Midsize (300-400 mm³)

This category includes printers with a build volume size of 300-400mm³. These 3D printers offer a larger build volume and can be used to print larger objects, such as cosplay props, helmets, masks, and larger household items. They are also suitable for printing small batches of products or creating larger prototypes for testing or showcasing.

Large Format (≥ 400 mm³)

This category includes printers with a build volume size of more than 400mm³. These printers have a very large build volume and can be used to print relatively large objects, such as bike helmets, large planters, or musical instruments. They are often used for applications that require large-scale printing capabilities, such as architecture, automotive, or aerospace. While they are capable of producing very large objects, they also require a larger investment in terms of cost, maintenance, and space.
