makezine.com: The moment has come that many of you have been waiting for; the results of this year’s Digital Fabrication testing are in and we are ready to share them all with you. This is the culmination of months of work, the most we put into any issue. We have spent months planning, testing, churning through the numbers, comparing, reviewing, and going over every detail to bring you the best guide possible.

This article is very incomplete. The author essentially claims that the team that looked at all the 3D printers did a lot of different checks to ensure that the printers they chose were absolutely the best, but then the author never expands on anything. They did not disclose a single trait that they looked at. If they want their readers to believe them, they have to show some credibility – unless, of course, they are taking a book from Donald Trump’s book and simply using keywords/synonyms with not a single truth or hard fact in order to attract attention. It would have been nice if they had listed out some of the specifications that they focused on and why because then I could also turn and do my own research if I wanted to. I want to go ask one of my friends about the list they compiled now because my friend has made multiple 3D printers by himself in the past few years and he claims to be more knowledgeable than some of them more professional companies out there – and, I believe him because I have used one of his 3D printers in the past and I have seen in person the merit that his products have.
I also was click-baited slightly by the title of the article since it specifically gave the number “17” and then didn’t list any of the 17 3D printers. Rather, they redirected the readers who were interested after giving no interesting information about their process.
I think that the fact that there are now companies that both have the means and the desire to evaluate 3D printers is an exciting prospect to me. This is because I feel that 3D printing is going to one of the greatest tools in the future of manufacturing once standards have been solidifed and costs have been cut such that it is more easily used by the entire market. The seemingly unlimited possibilities that seem to be hind the door of 3D technology is for me incredibly promising and makes me excited.
