Geometry can be reviewed around the intended process,\nincluding considerations such as wall thickness,\nclearances, orientation, machining access and interfaces.\n<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"qa\">\n\n<h3>Which 3D printing process is best for engineering prototypes?<\/h3>\n\n<p>\nFDM, SLS and SLA serve different requirements.\nThe correct process depends on strength, detail,\nmaterial, geometry, finish and the purpose of the prototype.\n<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"qa\">\n\n<h3>Can you CNC machine engineering prototypes?<\/h3>\n\n<p>\nYes. CNC machining can be used for suitable metal\nand engineering-plastic prototypes when the material\nor mechanical requirements call for machining.\n<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"qa\">\n\n<h3>Can you manufacture a part without an existing CAD file?<\/h3>\n\n<p>\nYes. CAD can be created from sketches, dimensions,\nspecifications, scans or an existing physical component,\ndepending on the project.\n<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"qa\">\n\n<h3>Can you produce only one prototype?<\/h3>\n\n<p>\nYes. Projects can begin with one physical prototype,\nfollowed by revised versions or additional quantities after testing.\n<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"qa\">\n\n<h3>Can you manufacture low-volume parts after prototyping?<\/h3>\n\n<p>\nYes.
