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.

Education should be free... A friend, a collegue and like myself Adrian is an expert Alias modeller with extensive years of experience working with OEM design studios https://www.youtube.com/c/AdrianAutodeskAlias @a.biggins.design I will begin to upload tutorials that will teach you from the moment you open Alias for the first time, setting Alias up for efficient work flow and together build a full exterior CAS model and render it. In my opinion this is as close as you can get to seeing the work flow and theory we work towards within OEM studios day to day.

I have created a number of Tutorials for Autodesk Alias A Class Nurb modelling. These tutorials are based on things i do everyday as a professional car designer within OEM studios. Although these are done in Autodesk Alias which is the industry standard software they can be applied to any nurb based program you may have such as Rhino, Catia etc. 1. Scan data to A Class surface model 2. From a side view sketch to a clean concept model 3. Using blueprints to create a clean accurate A Class model 4. Using these skills to challenge yourself.

Before I know how to do it, I cannot get any useful tips while I googling, it seems very hard. But it is very easy now. This tutorial will help you to model a simple twisted pair wire, for detailed twisted pair wire you can explore it by yourself. A model which modeled by this tutorial is in this linked page: https://grabcad.com/library/w-1930-1575-twisted-pair-wire-1.

It is not obvious to create twisted bar in SpaceClaim, e.g. for welded grating. I hope this lifehack will help You to make it in different cad programs. Как скрутить пруток в SpaceClaim, например для решетчатого настила. Подозреваю, что этот способ можно применять и в других программах.

JP_011_GrabCAD Print: 「マットかグロス？」3D造形でどのような場合にどちらの仕上げを使用すればよいのか

Stratasys Japan

マット（艶消し）にするか、それともグロッシー（光沢）にするか、それが今回のテーマです。 PolyJetプリンタをお使いの皆さんは、部品をマット仕上げにすべきか、グロッシー仕上げにすべきかで悩むことがよくあります。 皆さんが頭を悩ませるのも無理ありません。それ以外の点はまったく同じの2個の部品でも、仕上げのタイプが異なると、見た目、感触、色、そして強度や耐久性までもががらりと変わってしまう可能性があるのです。どちらの仕上げにもそれぞれ、考慮すべき独自のメリットと影響があります。 このチュートリアルでは、マット仕上げとグロッシー仕上げの概要を説明し、それぞれの長所と短所を比較し、それぞれのタイプがどのような仕上がりにつながるのかを明確に示す例を紹介します。そして最後に、どのような場合にどちらの仕上げを使用すればよいのかを簡単に分類してまとめとします。

Creating an S-shaped cooling geometry in ANSYS or any other simulation software requires a good understanding of fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and simulation tools. It may also involve several iterations to achieve the desired battery system cooling performance.
