Hey,
I'm actually not an engineer, I'm a business student. I was wondering - for all you engineers who work at small to medium (500 or less) size firms - what kind of prototyping you guys use. Specifically, prototyping that does not use 3D printing (or does not use in house 3D printing). I'm trying to get an idea of the costs you guys face when using products that aren't 3D printing or use another firm to produce your prototypes. The reason for this is that I'm trying to get an idea of the costs of a firm buying a printer vs. using another product or giving the job to another firm to produce.
Any links to firms that do 3D printing for you or produce an equivalent product would be very handy. Specifically pricing.
Thanks a lot.
