3D printing for the first prototype, CNC machining for a functional sample—or is it more complicated than that? We compare FDM, SLA, and milling in terms of speed, cost, and intended use.
Knowing the approximate price before contacting the manufacturer will give you a negotiating advantage and save time for both parties. Here are the factors that most influence the price.
How we worked with the customer's team to take the project from the initial CAD design through three rounds of DFM to mass production of 500 units in six weeks.
