In the product development phase there are many process options for creating models, prototypes, patterns or molds. Selecting the best approach requires an appreciation for the project requirements, an understanding of the process considerations, and an evaluation of the resulting time, cost and quality.
Without this information, it is difficult to identify the optimal approach.
When designs are still fluid and product specifications are in flux, two common choices are 3D printing and CNC (computer numerical control) milling. While there are plenty of similarities among these technologies, to choose between the two, a thorough understand of both processes is necessary.
Join PADT’s Chief Engineer and manufacturing expert, Dave Dietrich, for a live presentation covering the fundamental values of 3D printing and CNC machining, as well as a look at the advantages of each in certain scenarios.
This presentation will cover differences regarding:
- Design
- Preparation
- Setup
- Manufacturing
- Post Processing
