An alternative to this option would be creating a single prototype that includes multiple elements, although the result would not be the product. This is especially relevant if you want to check manufacturing tolerances or see how small...
All the STL files need to print this lamp can be found onGrabCAD. It is important to understand that while all 3D printers with a large enough envelope can print these pieces, the tolerances and materials available may be different. The body of the lamp was printed on a Stratasys Fortus ...
It is near impossible to optimize all at once for cost, speed, geometric complexity, materials, mechanical properties, surface finish, tolerances, and repeatability. In such complex situations heuristics and rules of thumb are more valuable: Additive manufacturing is best for low volumes, complex ...
