This year, we tested and reviewed the latest generation of 3D printers. While they were all excellent, 8 of them really stood out to me as top-performers for accuracy, speed, and print quality (and you'll already spot several of them in my guide to the best 3D printers).

It's been an exciting year for 3D printing, and we've seen some serious innovation in the space. Of particular note are units from the likes of Bambu Lab, with its refined P2S and large-format H2S units, and Prusa, which developed its first fully enclosed 3D printers.

Thanks to the mass adoption of CoreXY kinetics, AI failure detection, speeds now routinely topping 600mm/s, it feels to me that 3D printing is moving away from its hobbyist curiosity origins and towards reliable, high-speed units for businesses, creators, and crafters. As hardware editor for TechRadar Pro, I've selected the machines that genuinely impressed us for precision and print quality across a range of budgets.

Creality Hi

Exceptional quality for the cost

For the cost, nothing came close to the Creality Hi in 2025 - and after review it went straight into my 3D printer guide. Considering it's an entry-level 3D printer, it's jam-packed with features, single filament printing is very fast, and multi-filament printing is some of the most impressive we've ever seen from any 3D printer.

Bambu Lab H2D

Excellent performance across the board

The Bambu Lab H2D rocketed to the top of my 3D printer guide post-review - it really is an exceptional machine suitable for just about any office, workshop, or home. Grab the 4-in-1 version and you get a laser cutter, engraver, and digital plotter, all of which performed brilliantly during our tests. Overall, we found it one of the most impressive 3D printers on the market.
