Our evaluation of the Prusa brand

Prusa Research was founded as a one-man startup in 2012 by Josef Průša, a Czech hobbyist, maker, and inventor, and now one of the most famous names in 3D printing. He found his passion as a student at the University of Economics in Prague in 2009, joined the open-source RepRap project, and the rest is history.

What sets Prusa apart is a relentless focus on reliability and safe operation: every part of its printers is thoroughly tested in-house. The Original Prusa i3 line became the benchmark other FDM machines are measured against, and the company's open-source ethos and support keep it at the heart of the maker community.

Across our testing, Prusa machines reward you with dependable, repeatable results. For the full picture on any single model, read the individual reviews above.
