Product development
Use prototypes to answer a specific question: form, fit, assembly or function. Keep each prototype iteration connected to a test and a design decision.

Built around your application.
Appearance models, assembly trials and functional components ask different things of a printing process. Define loads, surface expectations, temperature and the downstream work before choosing resin, polymer powder or metal.

Manufacturing aids
Map the operator task, repeated positioning and workpiece contact. Review printed fixtures with the production team before release.

Low-volume components
Compare unit requirements, finish, repeatability and inspection. A production plan must include post-processing and incoming acceptance.

Lightweight structures
Identify loads, interfaces and manufacturing constraints before optimizing a geometry. A lighter concept still needs engineering validation.
