Benefits How We Review 3D Printers at Manufactur3D?

Manufactur3D’s ‘Write for Us’  Program is for people who are interested in contributing their knowledge, experience and expertise  and help the larger 3D printing community. You can write articles about the experiences you have had with 3D printing, the proven tips you may want to share, a product, material or software you have reviewed or a hack you have discovered, or more such instances that you think will educate your peers and beginners alike. This program will recognise and even celebrate the top contributors. We will soon announce the type of rewards top contributors can get from Manufactur3D.

How We Review

At Manufactur3D, we are dedicated to delivering expertly tested and evaluated product reviews in the 3D printing technology sphere. Having been at the forefront of the Indian 3D printing industry since its inception, we have expanded our services to include in-depth product reviews for 3D printers, materials and other products.

The responsibility of providing credible and unbiased advice to our readers is one we take seriously. Our impartial reviews are performance oriented rather than sales oriented. They aim to guide users in understanding what to expect from the product. As an independent third-party, our focus is on offering the best possible advice, especially to the Indian market.

Review Guidelines

We categorize our reviews into two types: Snapshot Reviews and In-Depth Reviews. Here’s how we approach each

Snapshot Reviews

Unbiased and Targeted

These reviews provide a quick, on-the-go and surface-level understanding of new printers, focusing primarily on features and specifications. Our commitment to unbiased content remains our north-star, regardless of the review type.

Quick Takes

Snapshot reviews are for the quick explorers who want to skim through the core offerings of a 3D printer before reading an in-depth review. It’s our quick take on the latest 3D printer.

Features and Specifications

We concentrate on the key features and specifications announced by the printer manufacturer, providing a targeted and concise overview of the printer.

In-Depth Reviews

Comprehensive and Personalized

Our in-depth reviews cover all aspects of the 3D product, from packaging and assembly to design, setup, printing quality, and material ecosystem. These reviews are intended for readers seeking detailed advice.

Expert Analysis and Rigorous Testing

Our experts put each printer through a thorough testing regimen, assessing its capabilities and reliability.

Inclusive Research

Alongside hands-on testing, we incorporate user comments and experiences from popular forums and direct interactions to gauge long-term reliability and overall utility of the 3D product.

Sources of our Review Products

Direct from Brands

We primarily receive products for review from the manufacturers themselves. We maintain editorial independence and only work with brands that respect our review standards and procedures.

Proactive Approach and Community Involvement

If a product piques our interest, we directly reach out to the brand to engage and provide us the printer to review. If this doesn’t work out then we purchase the printer ourselves. Additionally, we also collaborate with community members who allow us to review their newly purchased printers. In case a user buys a new 3D printer, then they can also contact us and we will collectively review the printer and publish it.

Our Editorial Integrity

No Brand Influence:

We do not work under the influence of brands to only report on the positives and not talk about the negatives. We are not influenced by brands and we work with utmost independence.

No Commission-based Reviews

We do not receive commissions from sales through our reviews. Any affiliate revenue generated through platforms like Amazon is completely separate from brand relationships.

Why to trust M3D reviews?

We have a huge loyal following and we believe they are loyal as most of them have been with us since our inception. We have built a strong trust with our users with the way we have reported news, conducted interviews and provided informative content for free. We value this trust and so we encourage all our readers, new and old to trust in our review process and editorial integrity. Our transparency about revenue generation, brand engagement, and our commitment to unbiased, independent reviews are at the core of our value system.

Your confidence in our reviews is paramount to us, and we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of honesty and transparency in every assessment we publish.
