No idea, but I did use 3D printing for my engineering degree.

The obvious thing I would look at is the size, speed and precision. Is it for prototypes and what kind of materials you want the prototype? final product to be of

SLA good if you want precision and FDM if more on a budget.

Do you know how to use CAD? Companies like Stratasys and 3D systems are known to be the largest but idk your end goal of your projects?

Also check what filament the printer takes in and and if that product is what you want as the finished part.
