Quick Summary
Additional Context
In this series, we’re using cutting-edge AI research tools, including an unreleased deep research tool to look at the desktop 3D printing filament market. We’re then comparing it with our known data to see where AI research tools make sense, and where (and how) they make mistakes. The idea is to at the same time let your learn about the current state of the desktop 3D printing filament market, while also honing your AI skill and knowing if you should be using LLMs for research at all.
Here, (as we can see from the image above) the LLM was a bit feckless with the data. If we look at more sources, especially European ones, then Recreus has a strong position in high-quality flexible materials. But the scraping tool missed the European vendor entirely. Also, TPU is widely sold; it’s just that
