Design for Consistency: Best Practices for Engineering Low-Volume Parts Using MJF vs FFF 3D Printing

When you're producing 5 to 500 parts using additive manufacturing, consistency becomes everything. Your customers expect the 50th part to perform exactly like the first one. But achieving this consistency requires understanding how Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) and Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technologies work: and more importantly, how to design for their strengths and limitations.

The Hidden Costs of 3D Printing: What Engineers Should Know

“Let’s build our parts in-house”, they said.

The ability of having complete control over the prototyping process, the freedom to iterate on designs at will, and the fun of seeing your CAD models materialize right before your eyes is an exciting concept.

But as with all good things, it’s important to realize the challenges that come with it and what to do next…
