Application fit
When to Choose 3D Printing
Choose 3D printing when tooling is too slow, geometry is difficult to machine, quantities are low or the design still needs fast iteration before production release.
- You need a rapid prototype for fit, form, function or customer review.
- The part has internal channels, lattices, organic surfaces or complex lightweight geometry.
- Production volume is low, customized or changing too quickly for hard tooling.
- Custom jigs, fixtures, robot gripper fingers or assembly aids are needed quickly.
- Critical surfaces can be finished, inserted, assembled or CNC machined after printing.

Tolerance, Surface Finish and Build Standards
Good 3D printed part specifications define the process, material, orientation-sensitive features, surface finish, critical dimensions and any secondary machining or inspection requirements.
| Requirement | Typical Planning Range | Notes for Better Results |
|---|---|---|
| SLA detail | Fine features commonly around 0.01-0.05 mm depending on geometry | Use for smooth surfaces, fine details and presentation-grade prototypes. |
| FDM accuracy | Common feature accuracy around 0.1-0.3 mm depending on material and build size | Use generous radii, avoid very thin walls and mark critical dimensions clearly. |
| SLS / MJP parts | Functional nylon parts or multi-material printed parts with process-specific planning | Good for clips, living hinges, ducts, brackets, visual models and complex functional forms. |
| Surface finish | Layer lines, matte nylon finish, smooth resin finish or finished surfaces after post-processing | Define visible faces, sealing faces, cosmetic surfaces and texture requirements. |
| Critical interfaces | CNC machining, tapping, inserts or reaming may be used after printing | Recommended for precision holes, threads, bearing fits and sealing surfaces. |
