3D printing tolerances

Posted 19 Dec 2018 | By | In 3Dprinting guides | Comments (0)

3D printing is not a perfect process. As in any other manufacturing system, there are differences between what we design and the physical object we manufacture. These small differences between the computer and the real world are called tolerances.Obtaining a tolerance 0 in the physical world is impossible, that is why there are certain tolerance values that are acceptable and do not affect the functioning of the designed piece. Knowing the ...

How to made support for flexible filament

Posted 11 Jul 2018 | By | In 3Dprinting guides | Comments (0)

As you will all know in 3D printing, objects are built layer by layer. This implies that each layer supports the next layer. This next layer may not coincide exactly with the previous one, which means that part of the layer remains in the air, that is to say without being supported on the previous layer.There is a point where this is not possible since the upper layers do not have enough support in the lower layers. This happens when we excee ...
