Many parts, including complex ones, are traditionally CNC-milled. Set-up costs and machine architecture requirements are particularly high for complex parts. This results in high costs due to machining time and material consumption. CNC-machined metal parts are often the method of choice.
But sometimes, for example, aluminum parts can be replaced with 3D-printed high-performance plastics. This opens up potential new applications for 3D printing and helps reduce costs. An outside perspective on your parts and processes—including a potential redesign for additive manufacturing—can provide valuable momentum for future projects.
