Fictiv offers 7 primary manufacturing processes, finishing, and assembly and allows customers to fully specify geometry, dimensions, and tolerances for each part feature. Fictiv encourages 2D drawings to be uploaded with GD&T, drawing notes and in-platform annotation. This means a design engineer's intent will always be conveyed to the manufacturing team. This also ensures that tight tolerances, as well as critical surfaces will be machined per the customer's specification. | Protolabs only offers manufacturing per 3D models as specified in the quote. If you are a skilled engineer, you know how much of the design intent is left behind without a proper 2D drawing. Protolabs also reserves the right to modify specifications and requires customers to pay additional fees associated with these modifications. |
