How to choose?<\/p>\n<p>1. \u00a0According to the products\u2019 application, wether you need the part works under pressure and has water proof properties etc.<\/p>\n<p>2. \u00a0Depends on how many quantities you need. Different volume has reflected processing method, this relates on the cost and time directly.<\/p>\n<p>3. \u00a0The expected material of your part. Not all the material can be achieved by one process, there has limitations. Just like we can\u2019t make metal parts by injection <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamrapidtooling.com\/injection-molding-tooling-china-t-24.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>molding<\/strong><\/a>. Settle down the material (plastic or metal), then choose the process.<\/p>\n<p>4. \u00a0According to the shape of your product to choose the process method. Every process has its advantages and disadvantages, we can machine the part by A process as well as B or C process, choose the best easy handle one, as that can cut down your cost and might have better quality control.<\/p>\n<p>5. \u00a0According to your expected delivery time to choose the process method. You can have a timeframe, and ask the prototyping factory to suggest process which can meet your expectation.<\/p>\n<p>6. \u00a0Choose the process prototyping method according to the tolerance requirement.<\/p>\n<p>As a professional prototyping maker in China, TEAM Rapid understands what your needs, lower price and better quality is the matter we consider all the time.
