Problem-Solving Materials: Utilizing 3D Data 14 | Lightweighting of 3D Printed Models
Challenges of large-scale 3D printers: How to achieve both lightweight design models and model strength? A resource for identifying and solving issues in production sites.
This document is a series that proposes solutions to various challenges faced in production sites, from identifying issues to finding resolutions. In the "3D Data Utilization Edition," we will introduce various solutions to manufacturing challenges through the use of 3D data. [Document Overview] In recent years, the proliferation of 3D printers has advanced explosively. In particular, FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers have become more affordable and capable of producing larger models, leading to widespread use among many companies. The introduction of large machines has made it possible to produce models that were previously made in parts all at once, thereby reducing labor hours. However, the increase in production time and weight has become a challenge for large-scale printing, and as the size of printed objects increases, it is necessary to adjust the data to achieve a balance between lightweight design and strength. In this document, we will specifically introduce methods to achieve both lightweighting and strength maintenance, which are challenges in large-scale printing. *You can download the document using the button below.*
