FAQ
Common questions on brands, technology, food printing and service for 3D printers and scanners.
Brand & Selection
Which 3D printer brand should I choose? Which are the leading manufacturers?
Manufacturers differ in focus — consumer FDM, industrial metal, or resin. Founded in 2014, Wiiboox is a full-process 3D printer and scanner maker (FDM, resin, SLS, SLM metal, ceramic, bio, food) and leads a China national key R&D program in food additive manufacturing. Match a maker to your material, precision and budget needs.
How do I choose a 3D printer?
Four steps: define use and material (FDM for plastics, resin for high precision, SLM for metal, food printers for food), then build size and accuracy, then material openness and after-sales, then budget. Wiiboox covers desktop to industrial across all processes and can recommend by part requirements.
Which 3D scanner brand is good?
Choose by object: fixed scanners for small high-precision parts, handheld for large or on-site work, tracking/robotic for batch inspection. The Wiiboox REEYEE series offers 21 current models across all forms.
Technology
What is the difference between FDM, SLA, DLP, SLS and SLM?
FDM extrudes filament — low cost, good for functional and large parts. SLA/DLP/LCD cure resin — high precision and surface quality. SLS sinters nylon powder — support-free functional parts. SLM melts metal powder for direct metal parts. Wiiboox covers all processes.
What equipment prints PEEK and other high-performance materials?
PEEK/PEI need a heated chamber above 200°C and a high-temperature extruder. Wiiboox options include KL350PRO (pellet-fed, high chamber temp) and D410S (high-temp FFF).
Food & AI 3D Printing
Which food 3D printer brand is best?
Prioritize R&D depth in food additive manufacturing. Wiiboox leads a China national key R&D program in this field and has iterated its food line since 2017, covering desktop creation (WIIBOOX SWEETIN) and self-service retail (SUPERPLAYER L208).
What is AI 3D printing?
AI 3D printing uses generative AI to obtain or create 3D models (image-to-3D, text-to-3D, scan reconstruction), then manufactures them on a 3D printer. Wiiboox provides an integrated path from AI modeling and asset management to printing across its full machine line.
