How to read these values

  • Aggressive — push the envelope. Only safe if you fully control machine, parameters, and material.
  • Typical — what most service bureaus quote and what shows up in default machine recipes.
  • Conservative — works on entry-level hardware, junior operator, first build. Always safe.
