Which plastic parts to 3D print ?
Quick prototyping (less than one week). Plastic part prototype can be used for validation of a plastic part design before mass production or just as a unique part.
How does the 3D printing of plastic components works ?
3D printers manufacture parts by adding layers of raw material on top of each other. This process is relatively slow but quicker than producting molds for injection. It enables complex shape manufacturing and usage of different raw materials.
What are the tolerances that can be reached with 3D printing ?
Tolerances easelly reach +/- 0.3mm, they can be tightened with machining for most critical dimensions
