### How Printimir helps

Printed prototypes make dimensions, handling and assembly tangible at an early stage. You can configure model variants separately and order them through a traceable process.

Materials and colours are shown from the currently available range. Suitability, timing and quantity depend on the specific model and are not promised without reviewing it.

### Typical applications

- Form and fit models
- Housing and assembly prototypes
- Display models for reviews
