Machining and coating specifications both drive per-part cost before finishing appears on the quote.

Match steel grade to production volume, resin chemistry, then finish requirements.

ECM dissolves metal to reach internal cavities conventional tools cannot.

Urethane casting methods let engineers test multi-material bonds before expensive tooling.

Wire EDM tolerances depend on material, pass count, and geometry—not machine specs alone.

CNC wins on precision and stability; resin trades accuracy for speed and cost.

DMLS wins for complex geometry; CNC dominates simple, high-volume brackets.

Aluminum tooling wins past 300 parts once labor replacement cycles are factored in.

CNC Delrin outperforms SLS nylon on precision and moisture stability.

CNC machining delivers isotropic strength; FDM prints weak along the Z-axis.
