Over the past year, multiple “high-speed” FFF printers have been introduced to the market. The product specifications and marketing messages for these printers are difficult to evaluate as there is no standard for assessing the actual effectiveness of the printer to produce high quality parts at a high speed. That is, the speed of the printer is often communicated as “up to a maximum speed of x” without addressing the quality of the part produced at a specific speed.
