3D printers for surgical guides

[Linda]

I just watched a review of the Form 2 3D printer and it just looks expensive and time consuming. I want to be able to print surgical guides and thought I would also use it to print models. The initial cost seems reasonable at $3500 but the resin and the trays could really add up quick!
I am thinking it is still best to outsource for now, any thoughts?

there is a very active discussion about formlabs printer you should follow first since many of the people in that discussion have printers.

Considering other printers on the market, this one is very inexpensive to operate!

No kidding, we have two Eden 260vs and I wish they were that inexpensive haha.

It is prolly the cheapest to operate...The tray can be replaced with a 3rd party long lasting scratch resistant glass version which can be recoated multiple times, plus with the newly released API will allow thinkerers to use non OEM resins as well.
