Why lease a 3D printer
Additive technology moves fast. Leasing is an inflation buster, a fixed payment while equipment prices rise, and cash flow management: a low capital outlay compared with buying outright. Payments are low and manageable, terms run up to 5 years, and most leases end with a $1 buyout; an FMV lease keeps the payment lowest if you plan to upgrade.
Printers may qualify for Section 179, a potential 100% deduction in the year they go into service (ask your CPA). You conserve cash for materials and staff.
