Up to about 180 mm Up to about 256 mm Larger than 256 mm Not sure yet

2. Which material lane matters most?

PLA / PETG / TPU ABS / ASA PA / PC / fibre-reinforced materials Mixed / not decided

3. How important is active chamber heating?

Not important Useful, but not essential Important for my material/process

4. Do you need a physically separate support/material nozzle?

No Maybe / support quality matters Yes, dual material is a key requirement

5. What is the main workload?

One-off prototypes Jigs / fixtures / functional parts Small-batch / repeated production Complex supported geometry

6. How do you want to treat purchase cost?

Keep capital cost as low as possible Pay more for a clear engineering benefit Professional capability matters more than price No fixed budget

7. Are optional laser/cutting functions useful to you?

No — printing only Possibly Yes — broader fabrication is valuable
