Industrial 3D printers are often considered the gold standard for FDM printing, but how much better are they really when printing the same material?
In this video, I compare ASA test objects printed on a Stratasys Fortus 450mc industrial 3D printer with identical test objects printed from Prusament ASA on a Prusa Core One L. The comparison includes tensile strength, layer adhesion, impact strength, creep performance, heat resistance, and several practical load tests.
The Stratasys parts were professionally printed on a Fortus 450mc by Varinex, while the Prusament ASA parts were printed in-house on a Prusa Core One L using my standard test methodology. The goal is not to declare a universal winner, but to see how industrial and consumer FDM technologies compare when producing functional engineering parts.
