ADVANTAGES

• Great for prototypes and low volume production runs.
• Parts can also be laser engraved with logos/part number etc.

DISADVANTAGES

• Part price is higher than an injection moulded part.
• Only suitable for flat profile parts (Although can often be designed for easy post cut assembly).
• Waste cannot readily be recycled.
• Material choice is limited.
