FIT ASSESSMENT

3D Printing Fit Assessment

  1. Define Use Case

    Part role · Operating context · Problem to solve

  2. Check Data Readiness

    3D data · Drawings · Reference inputs

  3. Set Requirements

    Function · Dimensions · Appearance priorities

  4. Plan Quantity

    Initial quantity · Repeat-quantity potential

  5. Plan Schedule

    Required date · Review and decision timing

  6. Set Result Criteria

    Dimensions · Function · Appearance · Handoff format

READINESS CHECKLIST

Six Inputs for an Application Review

Operating context · Available data · Functional needs · Expected quantity · Target schedule · Review criteria

  1. Operating Context

    Where the part will be used and the problem to be addressed

  2. Available Data

    3D data, drawings, photos, or physical-item information

  3. Functional Needs

    Priorities for strength, dimensions, assembly, and appearance

  4. Expected Quantity

    Initial review quantity and potential repeat quantity

  5. Target Schedule

    Required date and internal review and decision timing

  6. Review Criteria

    Completion conditions for dimensions, function, appearance, and handoff format
