Question
Documenting a model for 3D printed object
Within the last two years our company began making fixtures for use in our production environment.
Recently we discovered we were able to 3D print a part that we previously purchased consumable molds. This discovery has lead to incredible cost and time savings.
The issue we dealing with now is how to document this model. The finished part does not come out as an exact replica of the solid model which is where the concern is.
The dimensions in the solid model are the correct sizes in order to produce the correct sizes.
So the question is how do you document a part that will knowingly not match the solid model (which is ok and "intended") so that it can be sent through quality assurance and the next engineer will know what is going on?
