[QUOTE="tuyere, post: 371076, member: 26916"] We have an Objet.... 700? iirc. Grievances include: Poor reliability with a lot of downtime, high per-part costs, equipment consumables are pricey, closed ecosystem (or at least very limited material availability),slow and/or labour-intensive post-processing that requires tubs of lye hanging around the lab, a very low permissible part height that often prevented us from printing many models on it, etc. To be fair, some of these grievances lie with the vendor, who deliberately mislead us about operating costs and consumables and provided poor support overall, but we were still unimpressed with the printer itself. I'd say the unique benefits (support-free printing, very large build plate dimensions, multiple materials) didn't offset the downsides for us. People seem to look more favourably on their currently-supported printers nowadays, so I'd assume polyjet printing has improved somewhat, or at least isn't the dead-end printing technique that I previously viewed polyjet printing as.
