Throughout the process of printing our three-dimensional designs we learned several important things about 3D printing in itself. We complied a list of what we thought the five most important things to know about 3D printing were.
5 Things We Learned While 3D Printing
- There is limited resolution in 3D printed products. It is tremendously hard to print a lot of detail on our designs.
- Armatures can not be printed in air.
- 3D printing is a great way to make high quality prototype that are cheap.
- The position of the item printing is important. Horizontal shapes print significantly faster than vertical designs.
- 3D printers require interaction. They are not like a plug-and play device; you have to work with them. You also have to supervise the printer while printing because unlike regular printers, the 3D printer is very prone to warping of the print and other issues which need to be addressed immediately after occurring.
