You should choose the best prototyping method for your project by considering how many parts you need, how quickly you need them, the material you want, and your budget. Urethane casting over 3D printing prototyping offers a smoother finish and stronger parts for small to medium quantities. It’s ideal if you want parts that resemble injection molding. On the other hand, 3D printing is fast and can create complex shapes quickly. Many companies now combine both methods, using 3D printing to create tools for urethane casting. This approach speeds up the process and reduces costs for custom parts. Key Takeaways…
