New project, CAD data sorted, need a prototype…… aaargh too many options and don’t know which way to turn?!
Prototyping, 3D printing, additive manufacture, whatever we choose to call it now offers a wide variety of options and importantly capabilities. Which one is ‘best’ depends on what you are trying to achieve.
