3D PRINTER COMPARISON FUSION3 F410 VS. ULTIMAKER S5 PRO BUNDLE
In 2019, Netherlands-based Ultimaker announced its upgrade to the Ultimaker S5, the Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle to compete with the Fusion3 F410, targeting large companies.
Based on Ultimaker’s marketing literature, the S5 Pro Bundle has a couple neat features:
– Filament storage area that is dehumidified and will switch materials in mid print.
– Air filtration and circulation that adjusts based on the material printed.
However, as you’ll see in the comparison below, Fusion3 F410 has a number of advantages:
– Larger print area
– Made in the USA
– 2 Year Warranty and Free Lifetime Support, provided by our own Technical Support team
– Costs almost half the price! ($4,501 less)
