FDM 3D Printing is a common way to prototype. It’s quick, clean, and gets parts in your hands in a matter of hours… but what can you really do with it?

In the following series of posts, I will discuss the different design elements that go into using 3D printed parts for prototype development. Here is what will be included:

1. Design Applications
2. Material Types… Especially for ESD Compliance
3. The Printing Process & its Achilles Heels
4. Printing Large Parts
5. Designing for Machined Post Operations
6. Getting Holes Right
7. Modifying Parts to Increase Strength
8. Part Identification
