Login with my Xometry account K7 hole tolerance on a 3D print?
J
Hi everyone, I have a new part I am looking to prototype. I am thinking of 3D printing out of Nylon 12. But there are features that require K7 hole tolerance. Do you think this is achievable by 3D printing? Or should I choose milling instead?
