How to FDM Print for Part Sliding Clearance

GrabCAD Tutorials
in Assemblies
13 4 Intermediate
If you are 3D printing parts that have to fit/slide together after printing, you will need to put some sort of clearance between those parts in your CAD system. A good starting place is a clearance 2x the layer height you are going to print at, but you should make a few smaller test prints at different clearances to see if the 2x layer height rule holds for your particular situation and orientation. Have fun and happy printing!

Convert STEP/IGES files to STL on Mac

Robert Riegel
in Design & CAD
3 1 Intermediate
We’ve added a translator on Workbench that allows users to download a CAD file in STEP, IGES and STL formats, regardless of the format it was uploaded in. This makes it easy to share models with partners who don’t use the same CAD system you do. With just one click your supplier can download any of the neutral formats based on the original file you uploaded.

Matte or Glossy? Which Finish to Use for Your 3D Prints and When.

Alexa Nahum
in Modeling
9 0 Beginner
Matte or Glossy? That is the question. PolyJet users often ask themselves whether they should print a part with a matte finish or a glossy finish. And not without reason. The type of finish can totally alter the look, feel, color, and even strength and durability of two otherwise identical parts. Each option has its own benefits and implications that need to be considered. In this tutorial we will give an overview of matte and glossy, compare the pros and cons of each, and offer examples that clearly show what each finish type has to contribute. Finally, we will wrap up with a quick breakdown of when to use what.

JP_005_GrabCAD Print: 部品摺動部の隙間をＦＤＭ造形する方法

Stratasys Japan
in Assemblies
0 0 Intermediate
造形後にはめ合わせるまたは摺動（スライド）させる必要がある部品を3D造形する場合、CADシステムで該当する部品の間にある程度の隙間を設ける必要があります。目安として、造形する際の積層ピッチの2倍の隙間から始めるとよいでしょう。ただし、小さいサイズで何度かテスト造形を行い、積層ピッチの2倍の法則が特定の状況や向きに当てはまるかを確認することをお勧めします。それでは3Dプリンタで楽しくモノづくりをしていきましょう！
