However, if you have known 3D Printing beforehand, here are some Cool & Fun Things to 3D Print for inspiration! Part 1. What is 3D Printing? Have you noticed that some natural landforms are the deposition of sand, wind, or water, sand dunes, for instance. Imagine, wind is blowing ...
The present invention is a method that includes the step of 3D printing 3D Articles 1, during the printing stage, by using a thermally melted stacked 3D printer 500 with a single nozzle 502 simultaneously depositing a 3D printable material 201 and an elongated solid fiber 310 to fill the ...
There is a whole mess of size, repetition and UV settings you can mess with here to get your shape to fit, and literallyhundreds of Youtube tutorialstrying to explain how to texture map in Rhino. I'm not going to repeat those here, but will just point out: this mapping step takes a...
exporting aVRMLfrom SOLIDWORKS brings those body and face colors into GrabCAD Print for printing on a Stratasys J750/Connex3. Any textures or decals are still lost like in the picture above, but sometimes face color is enough to capture simple intent, like when using colored sunken text or s...
In this step by step guide "How to 3D print a DICOM file" we show you the best workflow and software for making 3D printable STL files from your DICOM
Finally, selectPrint! Above is a picture of the physical turbine stator we printed. This specific model took around an hour to print. Considerations for 3D Printing There are some additional details to keep in mind when 3D printing: If you are printing a single solid object, internal boundarie...
3D printers promise endless applications. However, sometimes reality gets in the way of that promise. One example of where that can happen is when trying to print something that needs to hold water, only to watch it leak like a sieve. Read on to find out to avoid such a tragic waste of...
If you’re 3D printing with PLA, your hardware will benefit from featuring the following: Heated bed.While not essential, a low-to-moderate temperature will enhance print results through improved adhesion Extruder temperature gauge.The temperature for most PLA filaments should be around 200 °C ...
The infill is what goes inside a 3D print. It would take way too long to 3D print a completely solid object and so some clever 3D printing engineers came up with infill, essentially a hollow grid pattern similar to honeycomb that allows the 3D print to have strength but still be light ...
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
