When it comes to the size of what you can print on a 3D printer, don't believe what the manufacturer (any manufacturer) tells you. In this edition of DIY-IT’s 3D Printing Discovery Series on ZDNet, we’ll take a hard look at the different build areas available for different 3D printers and then I’ll take you into the dark underbelly of the 3D printing world to show you what manufacturers don't want you to know: the truth about 3D printer build areas.
