At this point, it's more of a "We can get a 3D printer and do fun stuff with it if the price is right" kind of thing. Our business definitely doesn't need it to make money.

What's the main benefits of P1P over one of those more common ones? I'll have to convince my boss who'll have to convince his, and his, so forth. If that's the case.
I came from a Ender 3 V2 and went to a X1 (basically a P1P with an enclosure) so my experience is slightly different, but it comes down to:
1) Print speed
2) Print reliability (no constant fiddling)
3) Print quality
4) Ability to send print jobs over a network out of the box (if that matters)
5) Works out of the box
6) App support (if that matters)

Everything just works out of the box and what you'll save in upfront cost will be negated by its print speed and time saved from not having to constantly tinker with the machine.
