Slicer software converts the 3D model file into printing instructions, called G-code, for a 3D printer to create the required object. The accurate conversion from a CAD model to G-code is critical to ensure that the final output aligns with the intended design and specifications, making the ...
3D printing does not operate in a vacuum, and the macroeconomic and environmental forces shaping the global industrial and manufacturing landscape should be given consideration alongside advances in technology and trends specific to our industry. In 2023, China’s reopening is set to be the most sig...
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art known for its seemingly endless options to submit the opponent. One of the more unorthodox ways to tap someone is by using the bicep slicer. Although less commonly discussed than techniques like the armbar or triangle choke, the bicep slicer is a useful ...
CAD and 3D printing go hand in hand. CAD software (which stands for Computer Aided Design) is a central part of any 3D system as it enables you to create a 3D model from the ground, up. There are many types of CAD software, each with its own benefits. AutoCAD, created by Autodesk,...
3D printing is a process that uses computer-aided design, or CAD, to create objects layer by layer. 3D printing is commonly used in manufacturing and automotive industries, where tools and parts are made using 3D printers. As the capabilities of 3D printing continue to grow, so does its val...
Cost per part is usually the governing factor determining which manufacturing process is best. As a rough approximation the unit costs per method can be visualized like this: Learn more about 3D printing vs CNC machining. 3D printing is becoming cheaper every year and in some instances, it is...
A 3D printing slicer – also known as slicing or print preparation software – is a program that converts a 3D model into a language your 3D printer understands. Slicing software, such asUltimaker Cura, digitally cuts a model into flat layers, which your printer can then print one by one....
Slicers provide buttons that you can click to filter tables, or PivotTables. In addition to quick filtering, slicers also indicate the current filtering state,
1. What Is 3D Printing and Its Benefits 3D printingis a way to easily manufacture complex objects. 3D printing is cheaper, faster, and more customizable than buying a product from a store. This technology provides: faster production times ...
Solid rubber ball as 3D modeled by CAD designer, before being sliced into layers. The best way to describe this ‘additive layered-based creation of physical objects’ concept is to have you imagine a solid rubber ball and a deli slicer. Now, imagine putting the ball into the deli slicer ...
