Common questions about Additive Manufacturing / 3D Printing
Most UK precision shops can turn around CNC prototypes in 1 to 3 weeks depending on complexity, material and finishing. Additive parts are often faster.
A STEP or IGES file with a 2D drawing showing tolerances and finishes is ideal. Suppliers can usually quote from a STEP alone for simpler parts.
