How to complement CNC production with HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing

April 30, 2019

CNC is a subtractive manufacturing technology typically used in industries such as aerospace or automotive engineering and machinery/equipment manufacturing. It is well-suited for low-volume part manufacturing in a variety of materials, including metals and plastics. Accuracy is one of its main advantages–machined parts can be produced with tolerances of up to up to +/-0.025mm, which cannot be achieved with injection molding, for example.
