If you are prototyping plastic parts, there’s 2 common approaches that can be taken. Firstly, 3D printing, which is a quick and cost effective method of manufacturing parts and secondly, CNC machining. While 3D printing is much cheaper and is generally the chosen process, CNC machining is used in cases where higher accuracy or particular mechanical properties are needed.
