Two processes. Chosen by what the part needs to do.
FDM is our primary process for strength and function. In-house MSLA/LCD resin printing gives us a separate route for fine detail, smooth surfaces and small parts.
The right route starts with the actual geometry and the result that matters. We make the process choice visible during review rather than treating it as a default.
FDM and resin, plainly compared
| Process | Best starting point | How it is handled |
|---|---|---|
| FDM | Strength and function | Geometry analysed, manufacturing route prepared, then reviewed by a person. |
| MSLA/LCD resin | Detail and surface finish | STL geometry analysed, with support layout and exposure work handled by hand. |

The record follows real FDM, resin and mesh-to-CAD projects from their inputs through validation and the corrections that shaped the next version.
