Design guidelines

A few habits that make parts cheaper and faster to make.

3D printing (FDM)

  • Keep walls at least 0.8 mm thick.
  • Steep overhangs need supports; orient the part to avoid them.
  • Choose PETG or ABS for parts that get warm or flex.

CNC aluminum

  • Inside corners take the radius of the cutter, so avoid sharp internal corners.
  • Deep, narrow slots and pockets are slow and costly.
  • Loosen tolerances wherever the part does not need them.

Composite lay-up

  • Tell us the area, the number of plies and who supplies the mold.
  • Vacuum bagging or infusion gives lighter, more even laminates than wet lay-up.
  • An engineer will confirm the price after reviewing your request.
