“Saved Us $$” Jacob N. British Columbia, Canada

“We thought our CAD drawings were exact, but decided to have you create a rapid prototype for us so we could verify the part before we went to manufacturing. We received our part and noticed we had an error in our drawing. Thanks to you, we were able to make a few modifications that saved us $$ on final tooling.”
