| - | The process of design for manufacture means taking into account what tools will be used to actually make the final part. A well designed part is much cheaper to manufacture by reducing the number of tools and the need for specialty tooling in the machining process. My experience in a machining environment and tool purchasing gives me insight into what features may add cost and not functionality to your part. | ||

| - | ==== Mold Making ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | To create small runs of parts or more durable test pieces, I can create silicone molds of parts. Silicone molds allow for casting fiber reinforced resins and resins that are not uv-cure. This expands the range of materials from what is offered by 3D printing to create anything from very soft rubber parts to very rigid glass fiber reinforced parts. A vacuum chamber provides parts that are free of air bubbles. | ||
