its really depends on your intentions - how sturdy the material should be, how large are the parts?...
the most important question would be the money budget. starting at app. 3k $ and of course about 200 to 600k for the professional machine for printing metal.

Generally, the material for 3D printer is ABS or PLA. Another important problem is your design accuracy, that depends on your purpose. You can find help from the suppliers. They can give your best suggestion.
