When printing hollow models with an SLA resin 3D printer, be sure to add drain holes to allow liquid resin to flow out of the model. Hollowing out your model can save substantial time and material, as the printer will only need to print the outer shell. If you’re using a Formlabs ...
physical object is created based on a 3D design blueprint. 3D printing is an emerging technology that first was introduced in the year 1986; however, it wasn’t until the 1990s that it began to draw serious attention from all corners of the technology world. ...
Rhino requires some unique considerations when preparing 3D print files. Learn how to prepare your Rhino files for 3D printing. Read now.
Perfecting design parameters: in order to be printable, your geometry needs to have volume and manifold geometries Managing supports: beyond a certain point, your printed material won't be able to print onto thin air (surprise!) and requires designed 3D printed supports, which will affect the ...
works the same as the infill density of the model itself. As density increases, the support structure grid will gradually become tighter while the interface between the model and support improves. Reducing the density can shorten printing time but it is suggested to keep density at least at 80...
This walkthrough explains how to print fully textured CAD files encased inside transparent blocks, to help support complex parts, show vistas you never thought possible, or just increase the usability of your full-color models!

Import the downloaded .SVG file with the shape using theImportbutton in the top right corner. When the import is complete, the image is automatically converted to a 3D object. Change the shape type to “Hole“. Click the object with the right mouse button and first adjust its height in ...
Preparing to 3D print a barcode involves more than just hitting the 'print' button. The preparation phase is critical to ensure the final product is aesthetically pleasing and functional. Slicing the STL file to generate G-code is the technical heart of this process. This step translates your ...
Oslan sees huge opportunity for 3D printing to help begin rebuilding the nation. “We would expect that anything we deliver to Ukraine today to build military or humanitarian structures would ultimately transition into the building of homes, for the reconstruction of (the country’s) communities,”...
