Depending on your design, this might not be a requirement when 3D printing large objects. In such cases, 3D printing the outer shell or hollowing out your design are great ways to save a considerable amount of material and time. When printing hollow models with an SLA resin 3D printer, be...
Three-dimensional printers and software are quickly evolving鈥攑rinters now are easily accessible, and the models are inexpensive to print. However, for a surgeon with no IT training, 3D printing even a simple anatomic model may be a challenge. The purpose of this article...
This would be the equivalent of asking your 3D printer to print one straight line and expecting it to come out in 3D. You can create volume in your model by adjusting the wall thickness or adding additional surfaces to your geometry.
We hope you have fun preparing your models! Here are additional resources on how to create such models. If you know other good ones,let us knowor write a comment. Denis Hudrisier on YouTube (using Chimera) Jessica Pola on ascb.org (using PyMol) ...
3D Model:The3D Benchyis an ideal first print for your 3D printer; it offers a calibration test and is a fun model in a single print. However you can also download STL files from sites such asThingiverse. Slicing Software:In order to print your model, you’ll need to convert it from ...
When designing a 3D model that you will print using a desktop 3D printer, you might want to consider building size limitations. Your 3D printer might not even be big enough to produce the prop or action figure you are designing. It would be great if you can split the model into several...
To create 3D models that you can print without3D printing supports, you should start from the initial design stage by minimizing complex structures. To avoid supports, you should ensure that the overhang angles are not extending more than 45 degrees from the vertical section. You should also con...
This is the third in a series of tutorials to help printer operators who are NOT graphic artists get the absolute most out of their multi-color, multi-material 3D printers, like the Stratasys J750. We will cover how to create models with semi-transparent textures wrapped around curved, transp...
Additive manufacturing is helping to shape the business models of tomorrow. Indeed, the use of3D printingis not only a matter of getting agood prototype, or nice and funny finished 3D printed parts. Additive manufacturing is offering new advantages, allowing to build innovative business models. Fo...
