FrançaisThe 5 best all-in-one 3D printers in 2024
What’s an all-in-one 3D printer?
Like a modern Swiss Army knife, all-in-one 3D printers (a.k.a. AIO 3D printers, multifunctional 3D printers, or multitool 3D printers) boast features such as laser engraving and cutting, vinyl cutting, drawing, and more.
AIO 3D printers can be multi-purpose fabrication tools for makers, professionals, businesses, and hobbyists alike. However, there aren’t that many desktop options available today. We decided to take a closer look at the multitool 3D printer market and list the best all-in-one 3D printers currently available.
We only included multifunctional 3D printers that cost less than $9,000, excluding industrial all-in-one 3D printers that require advanced knowledge (and budget).

All-in-one 3D printer functionalities
A range of functionalities can be included in all-in-one 3D printers: CNC milling, laser cutting and engraving, paste extrusion, and more.
CNC milling
Computer numerical control (CNC) milling is the removal of material through a specific process that uses rotary cutters, performed by computer-controlled machines that are also known as machining centers or stations. CNC milling, a process similar to drilling and/or cutting, is considered subtractive manufacturing in contrast to 3D printing which is an additive method.
Paste extrusion (syringe extruder)
Paste extrusion is the process of simply pushing any paste-type filament such as PVC foil, EVA foam, machining wax, and even chocolate (food 3D printing!) through a special tube and nozzle. Paste extruders are also known as syringe extruders.
Laser cutting and laser engraving
Laser cutting is quite simple; a computer-controlled machine directs the laser beam onto the material and moves according to the desired shape. Engraving works the same way, but with less laser power. Compatible materials – for non-industrial desktop machines – include different kinds of plastics as well as soft metals and wood. Check out our guide to laser engravers and cutters for further information.
Other functionalities
Some of the all-in-one 3D printers included in this article feature other functionalities besides the ones mentioned above. Some of these functionalities include:
- Drawing: a writing instrument such as a pen or marker can be attached to a 3D printer’s tool head in order to create automated (or CNC) drawings.
- Hot-wire cutting: the 3D printer is equipped with a wire made of stainless steel, ideal for cutting foam and similar materials.
- Vinyl cutting: a technique where a drag knife, also known as a “craft cutter”, is used to cut out shapes or letters from thin, adhesive plastic (ie. for stickers) through adjustable-depth cutting.

Discontinued multitool 3D printers
Various all-in-one 3D printer manufacturers have closed down or stopped manufacturing their products. Other were Kickstarter projects that didn’t make it on the market. We listed them here (below) for those that may be wondering why a certain printer or brand isn’t on our main list.
AIO Robotics Zeus 3D printer and scanner combo
Zeus, a 3D printer and 3D scanner combo made by the US manufacturer AIO Robotics, was one of the most popular AIO 3D printers on the market. However, AIO Robotics no longer manufactures any 3D printers.
ATOM Atom 2.5 EX 3D Printer Kit
The Atom 2.5 EX was a professional delta 3D printer with a laser engraver. ATOM had announced an Atom 3 in 2018, but it isn’t possible to purchase 3D printers on their website anymore.
FABtotum Core PRO
The FABtotum Core PRO was capable of CNC milling, laser cutting cardboard and paper, and laser engraving. This 3D printer is no longer available, as the brand is in liquidation.
FLUX Delta
FLUX was an interesting multifunctional option from Taiwan, but they stopped manufacturing printers and now sell sunglasses!
MAG iCreatum
This multifunctional 3D printer was supposed to feature 3D printing, ink plotting, and other functionalities for only $300. Kickstarter suspended its campaign in 2017 as the project violated its rules.
MakerArm, the ultimate 4-in-1 3D printer for fablabs?
The MakerArm started as a Kickstarter project and managed to gather over $430,000 from 340 backers in November 2015. After unexpected rises in component costs, the MakerArm team decided to refund their backers.
XYZprinting Da Vinci 1.0 Pro 3-in-1
Although it’s still displayed on XYZprinting’s website, this 2-in-1 3D printer and scanner has been out of stock for quite some time.
