Material Use In Prototype Parts

Some of our customers often ask us "My production parts are going to be made out of metal/acrylic/polycarb/wood etc, so shouldn't my prototype be made out of the same material?"

The ABS plastic models that we create with our machine are representative models. They allow you to hold the product, look at it from all angles, fit it into other parts, fit it into existing products, sand it, paint it, even electroplate it with chrome if you like.
