Medical and dental programs with careful scope language
Sensitive programs need precise language. NetProto quotes production tooling while you describe documentation needs in project notes.
Do not assume biocompatibility or ISO certifications in marketing copy. Describe intended use and documentation asks instead.
Housings, knobs, and disposable components still follow draft, boss, and tolerance guidance.
Upload CAD when the design is ready for production tooling scope.
Manufacturing
Quote with sector context on the model
Upload CAD so DFM and material assumptions match how the part is used.
- Note environment: UV, chemicals, or wear surfaces.
- Call out cosmetic faces versus functional mates.
- List expected annual volume even if it is a range.
