Design Guidelines for 3D Printing Tech
The fact that the digital design is going to become a physical object in future is of paramount value. "Anything can be drawn in 3D on a digital canvas, but not everything can be printed three dimensionally." There are various 3D printing processes in use in today's industrial world and each of those processes has its own design limitations. Here are some important guidelines you need to keep in mind while designing parts for 3D printing. Material Guidelines Each and every printing material is different. Materials can be brittle or strong, flexible or solid, smooth or rough, heavy or light, and so on. This also means that an object should ideally be designed for a specific material. For example, if you know that you want to print your 3D model in Steel, there will be specific material-related design recommendations that you need to take into account such as supporting overhanging parts, strengthening elements that are sticking out, rounding off c...
