Before committing to injection molding, a consumer electronics team ordered high-detail SLA housings to review with marketing and retail partners. AIHFABS let them compare finish quality and color options across suppliers.
Challenge
- Smooth surfaces required for photography and stakeholder review
- Multiple color samples needed within the same build window
- Tight confidentiality around unreleased product geometry
Solution
The team uploaded STEP and STL files, selected SLA with standard resin, and added a painted finish note in the order remarks. Two supplier quotes highlighted different post-processing capabilities.
Results
- Approved visual model in one iteration cycle
- Retail presentation assets captured before tooling deposit
- Clear quote breakdown helped procurement justify vendor selection
