3D printer for business startup

[LambdaFF]

Hi compatibility with autocad has nothing to do with the printer, only with the slicer. And since you will have to export as STL, this is a moot point.

Instead of having us make the choice for you, I suggest you go to 3DHubs and have owners of such printers do a couple test prints for you so you can judge the quality 1st hand. Won't cost you much and if you're asking nicely they may let you come in and look.

Since you're looking for a professional activity, I suggest you look at companies renowned for their support and who have spares listed.

I would not suggest Makerbot... but that's just my opinion, the articles on them are terrible. You can get a look in this forum on their subthread.
