Product development and prototyping
How part design, printing and production follow each other from an idea to a working prototype.

Prototype production methods
Which method is an honest choice for a looks-like model, a functional trial, or a short run in metal.
Read04
What is CNC milling?
A plain explanation of CNC milling, which parts it suits, and how a STEP file enters a quote.
Read05
How CNC milling prices are calculated
Why material, setup, cutting time, tooling, finish, labor, overhead and margin are separate — and which figures are placeholders.
Read06
Choosing a material for CNC machining
How load, environment and machinability should drive the choice between aluminum, steel, stainless and plastics.
Read07
Differences between CNC machining and 3D printing
A practical comparison of strength, tolerance, file format and price between milling and FDM.
Read08
The difference between STEP and STL
Why a solid and a triangle mesh are handled differently, and which file to upload.
Read09
Aluminum 6061 compared with 7075
Strength, machinability and the prototype decision: when 7075 is actually justified.
Read10
How a 3D printing price is calculated
The active rule is filament grams times a per-gram rate. Without a slicer that figure stays preliminary.
