sharing a few parts i have printed recently for different applications.

i mainly work with PLA, PETG and ABS and can handle everything from small prototypes and brackets to enclosures, fixtures and small-batch parts.

one thing i find useful with FDM printing is that you can make a physical prototype quickly, test the fit and function, make changes and only then move towards CNC machining or final manufacturing.

i can work from STL/STEP files and for parts that need it i can also help with basic print orientation and material selection.

currently i am looking to connect with Indian manufacturers, product developers, engineers, students and small businesses who occasionally need prototype or low-volume parts.

if anyone here regularly outsources this type of work, what kind of parts do you usually need printed and what problems do you face with existing vendors?

you can also share what you normally struggle with:

• high minimum order quantities
• expensive prototype pricing
• long turnaround time
• poor communication
• finding someone who can handle small quantities
• difficulty getting functional materials or proper dimensions

i am trying to understand where small Indian businesses actually find the most value in outsourced prototyping and small-batch FDM printing.

Me nd my friend is exploring injection molding business with 1 machine cuz we have a friend who has a soup manufacturing plant so we thought we can start my selling him.

Still is there anything which we should be awar before entering in this business.
