mit dem Finger schnapsen


Explanation:
What is the source? It doesn't sound like it was written by a native speaker. It could mean "by clicking your fingers" (e.g. switch the light on by clicking your fingers). In that case "mit dem Finger schnapsen"?

Sorry, "mit den Fingern schnapsen" of course.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Es geht um Rapid Prototyping, den Bau von Messvorrichtungen etc. Letztendlich werden Modelle der Endprodukte gefertigt, um daran Prüfungen vorzunehmen. Im Übrigen heißt es nicht Finger SCHNAPSEN, sondern SCHNIPSEN
