The project requirement form is designed to help us get all relevant information needed to mass produce your part.

This form will skip much of the back and forth emailing of questions and clarifications to make the manufacturing process easier. There will still be back and forth emailing and phone calls for questions from both sides, but in general the form will greatly increase the speed of the process.

You can find more explanation on the questions, as well as example answers here.

 Part Description/Purpose and Function: (Example) This part is designed to hold my phone on my desk, it’s hollow and somewhat designed for 3d printing, and specifically for the Iphone 12 Pro.

This is to help us understand what your part is used for. By understanding, we can make better test parts by using what we know to avoid certain options and focus on others.

Technical Specifications: (Example) The phone holder needs to have as flat a surface as possible where the phone back will sit. The lip the phone sits on needs to be snug to the phone but not to tight so I can easily insert the phone and take it out, without the phone falling out from a small bump.

This is to tell us any specific surfaces geometries that are more critical to the part quality than others. We can print the part in most any orientation, but sometimes the surfaces cannot have support marks, or any other contusions. 

Additional Part Info (Tolerances, Surface Finish Requirements, Overhangs, Supports): (Example) The phone holder has a small oval cutout at the bottom that lines up with the phone charging port. This tolerances needs to be within .25mm of the blueprint size. There are also small holes along the base that the phone back sits on, these are mainly to cut away resin usage, but need to be within .20mm to allow proper cooling.

This is to specify what the critical sections are, such as a hole needing to be a certain size, a surface needing to be a certain smoothness or roughness, or if we can’t use supports on certain surfaces.

Preferred Resin Type: (Example) The DL110HB material.

This tells us what material to begin our testing and printing. If you don’t know that is fine, we will work through it with you. 

Material Strength/Properties Requirements: (Example) The material doesn’t have to be extremely strong, but needs to withstand small drops and repeated heavy use. A slight flex to the material is ok, but rigid is prefered. Needs to be black in color

This is to help us understand material properties that are needed for the part, some need to be flexible, and some need to be completely rigid. With any additional info on what the material is required to be like, we can make recommendations and send samples.

Layer Thickness: (Example) 250 Microns (Med-Fine)

This is for us to know what layer thickness to print at, the lower the layer thickness, the higher the quality. Some parts need 100 Micron layers to achieve the extra detail for close inspections. While some parts may be printed at 250 microns because they need the part faster and the detail quality isn’t as critical.

Printing Orientation: (Example) This part was designed to print stand up as it would be in use.

This helps us save material on testing and prototyping. If there is a specific surface the part was designed to print on, the testing phase becomes much faster and cheaper.

Any Additional Notes or Instructions: (Example) I’m interested in coloring options, I would like to discuss with someone any possibilities of getting these colored.

This is for any specific production or post production needs that we would need to know.

Project Deadline: (Example) 15/05/2025

This tells us when we need to have the part shipped to you.

File Upload: (Example) PhonestandV7.stl

This is how we get the part you’ve been describing. Without the part file, we either have to design from scratch with has a design fee; Or we have nothing to print.

Additional Questions? (Example) Can I have a call to discuss any possible design improvements that would save on my cost?

This is for any and all questions you may have.
