Fastest 3D printers by claimed top speed

The fastest 3D printers you can buy claim a top speed of 1,200 mm/s: the Sovol Zero ($499), the FLSUN S1 Pro ($1,099) and the FLSUN V2 Max. No shipping printer in the database claims more. The table lists all 56 shipping printers, fastest claimed top speed first.

Every speed, acceleration and flow figure is the maker’s claim, not a measured print time. A dash means the maker publishes no figure, and those rows sort last. Three Prusa printers list no top speed: the Original Prusa MK4S, the Original Prusa XL+ and the Prusa CORE One+ (Gen 2). Prices are US launch prices for the base configuration.

What is the fastest 3D printer?

On makers’ claims, three shipping printers tie as the fastest at 1,200 mm/s. The Sovol Zero is an enclosed CoreXY with a 152 mm build cube. The FLSUN S1 Pro and V2 Max are deltas, one enclosed and one open. All three also claim 40,000 mm/s² of acceleration, the highest figure in the database.

Six more printers claim 1,000 mm/s. One is the FLSUN T1 Max delta ($549). The other five are Bambu Lab CoreXY machines: the X2D ($649), H2S ($1,249), H2D ($1,899), H2C ($2,399) and H2D Pro ($3,799).

Next come the QIDI Max4 at 800 mm/s and three printers at 700 mm/s: the Sovol SV08, the Sovol SV08 Max and the Creality Ender-5 Max. Across the 53 shipping printers that publish a top speed, the median claim is 600 mm/s. The lowest is the Snapmaker Artisan, whose maker lists 180 mm/s as its top speed.

The V2 Max has no recorded launch price, so the cheapest 1,200 mm/s printer with a known price is the Sovol Zero at $499. Its build volume is also the smallest in the database, at 152.4 × 152.4 × 152.5 mm.

Who makes the fastest 3D printer?

FLSUN and Sovol make the fastest printers in the database, each with a model claiming 1,200 mm/s. Bambu Lab follows at 1,000 mm/s, then QIDI at 800 mm/s and Creality at 700 mm/s. Anycubic’s fastest claim 600 mm/s. Elegoo, Prusa Research and Snapmaker top out at 500 mm/s, and Flashforge at 300 mm/s.

The fastest shipping model from each maker, by claimed top speed:

• FLSUN: S1 Pro and V2 Max, 1,200 mm/s.
• Sovol: Zero, 1,200 mm/s.
• Bambu Lab: X2D, H2S, H2D, H2C and H2D Pro, 1,000 mm/s.
• QIDI: Max4, 800 mm/s.
• Creality: Ender-5 Max, 700 mm/s. The K1 Max, K2, K2 Pro, K2 Plus and Ender-3 V3 claim 600 mm/s.
• Anycubic: eight Kobra models at 600 mm/s, from the Kobra 3 V2 ($349) to the Kobra S1 Max ($899).
• Elegoo: five models at 500 mm/s, including the Centauri Carbon.
• Prusa Research: CORE One L+, 500 mm/s, the only shipping Prusa that lists a top speed.
• Snapmaker: U1, 500 mm/s.
• Flashforge: Creator 5 and Creator 5 Pro, 300 mm/s. Flashforge lists 600 mm/s as the Creator 5’s travel speed, for moves that print nothing.

What is the fastest enclosed 3D printer?

The Sovol Zero and the FLSUN S1 Pro are the fastest enclosed printers in the database, both claiming 1,200 mm/s. The Zero is a compact CoreXY with a 152 mm build cube that launched at $499. The S1 Pro is a $1,099 delta with a round 320 mm bed, rated for a 50 °C chamber.

Neither has an actively heated chamber. Among printers that do, the five Bambu Lab models at 1,000 mm/s are the fastest, each with a 65 °C chamber rating. The X2D is the cheapest of them at $649. The QIDI Max4 follows at 800 mm/s, also with a 65 °C chamber. The chamber temperature list sorts every enclosed printer by chamber rating.

What is the fastest Bambu Lab printer?

Five Bambu Lab printers share the brand’s top claim of 1,000 mm/s: the X2D, H2S, H2D, H2C and H2D Pro. All five are CoreXY machines with a 65 °C heated chamber and 20,000 mm/s² of claimed acceleration. The X2D, launched in April 2026, is the cheapest of the five at $649.

The P2S claims 600 mm/s. The P1S claims 500 mm/s. So do the A-series bedslingers, which move the bed front to back: the A1 mini, A1 and A2L. The Bambu Lab printer comparison lines up every model’s chamber, nozzle, flow and multi-material system.

How fast is the fastest 3D printer in a real print?

Slower than the advertised top speed unless the hotend keeps up. A printed line runs no faster than the claimed flow divided by the line’s cross-section. On a 0.45 mm wide, 0.2 mm tall line, the Sovol Zero’s 50 mm³/s caps printing near 555 mm/s. The two FLSUN deltas claim 110 mm³/s, enough for about 1,220 mm/s.

The same line on the Bambu Lab machines at 1,000 mm/s, which claim 40 mm³/s, tops out near 445 mm/s. Prusa’s knowledge base writes the rule as “Max speed = MVS / cross-section area,” where MVS is the maximum volumetric speed. Halve the layer height and the cap doubles.

Short moves add a second limit. From a standstill, reaching 1,200 mm/s at 40,000 mm/s² takes 18 mm (v² ÷ 2a), so a move must be about 36 mm long to touch top speed and stop again. Many moves on a small part end sooner.

The speed claims guide works through both limits, and the volumetric flow guide gives the cap for other line sizes. For a big build plate as well as speed, see the fastest large 3D printers.
