Default RE: Grow Jet Parts with a 3D Printer

Hi Craig,

Do you find the FDM to be able to produce the same level of detail of a straight (modern) stereo lithography setup?

The SLA would be used as a mold master, not for final parts. I want to use it for cockpit parts as well.

We have gone through 2 lasers on our big one at work and we will not get another (40K each with labor). There is so much over capacity here that it is cheaper to vend out the jobs.

Regards,
