Our Disc Manufacturing Process

Step 1

Initial Design:

We start by free-hand drawing an outline of the desired disc radius.

Step 2

Digital Modeling:

The outline is imported into Fusion 360, where we trace and refine the design.

Step 3

3D Printing:

A 3D printer step file is created and used to print a prototype disc.

Step 4

Prototype Testing:

The printed disc is tested for performance. Based on the results, we make necessary adjustments and repeat the process until we achieve the perfect design.
