3D Printing for Prototypes, Jigs and Low-Volume Parts

Opotek uses 3D printing for functional prototypes, enclosures, test jigs and low-volume parts, and designs each part for the process that suits it. Technologies that are not produced in-house are sourced from partners.

Which 3D printing process should I choose?

  • FDM (in-house): enclosures, brackets and jigs in engineering plastics.
  • SLA / resin (in-house): fine detail and cosmetic parts.
  • SLS / MJF (via partner): functional end-use parts and snap-fits.
  • Metal (via partner): brackets and heat sinks.

Can 3D printed parts be used in final products?

Yes, at low volumes and with the right material. At higher volumes, CNC, sheet metal or injection molding usually become cheaper per unit.

Frequently asked questions

3D printing or injection molding?

3D printing is cheaper for prototypes and small quantities; injection molding pays off once volume justifies the tooling investment.
