Purpose and material
Describe what the printed part must demonstrate. Confirm whether material appearance, dimensional fit or functional performance is the priority.
MANUFACTURING SERVICES / toway casting
3D Printing ServicesA model with a purpose.
Discuss additive manufacturing routes for concept models and functional prototypes. Material, process choice and post-processing depend on the specific design and intended use.
PROJECT-FIRST THINKING
A clearer manufacturing conversation.
Geometry, material and acceptance requirements guide the route.
Process selection
The original service page mentions SLA, SLS, FDM and MJF. Confirm which route is available and appropriate for your geometry and project.
Orientation and finishing
Review supports, accessible surfaces and any secondary finishing requirements. Agree what will be supplied and how it will be accepted.
From file to review
Share the model revision, quantity and acceptance criteria. A printed prototype should not be assumed to match the properties of the final production route.
THE RFQ STARTING POINTDefine the part.
Define the part.
Then review the process.
Share the controlled drawing and CAD file, material, quantities and required delivery condition. Confirm the manufacturing scope, sample plan and inspection requirements with the quotation.

Base material
Match the proposed finish to the specified alloy or polymer and its final condition.
Functional surfaces
Identify sealing faces, fits, threads and any surfaces that must be masked or protected.
Appearance
Agree on the texture, colour and reference sample before approving production.
Acceptance
Put measurable finish and inspection requirements on the drawing or purchase specification.
