FATHOM Produces a Video Showing Entire 3D Printing to Injection Moulding Process
3D Printing Industry webzine has discovered an interesting video produced by product design CAD/CAM Service Bureau FATHOM which features a nice step by step guide of the plastic manufacturing process from CAD/CAM through injection moulding.
While not jewellery-specific, this makes for a useful illustration of how 3D printing fits in with mass production.
