The QIDI i-Fast is positioned in the professional and prosumer tier, ideal for small businesses, engineering firms, and advanced users who need to print engineering-grade materials. The presence of a heated enclosed chamber and the dual extrusion option (single for high temperatures up to 300°C and dual for water-soluble or bi-color materials) allow for reliable processing of complex polymers like nylon, polycarbonate, ABS, and carbon or glass fiber-filled filaments. Compared to entry-level desktop machines, it offers a massive industrial structure that reduces vibrations, ensuring high dimensional accuracy on finished parts, albeit with an ecosystem requiring technical expertise.

Material compatibilities will be available in a future version.
The machine comes with the proprietary Qidi Print software, a slicer based on proven open-source architectures, specifically optimized for the profiles of the technical materials supported by the printer. Users can still generate G-code using other widely adopted third-party slicers on the market, such as Ultimaker Cura, PrusaSlicer, or Simplify3D, after manual configuration of machine and extruder parameters. Although it lacks native cloud features or advanced remote connectivity for corporate fleet management, it supports direct file transfer via local Wi-Fi or USB drives, ensuring a secure offline workflow for intellectual property protection.
Reviews from those who use this machine every day will be available in the next version of the platform.
