Problem-Solving Materials Productivity Improvement Edition 10 | Thin-Walled Models for 3D Printers
Achieving the creation of a thin meat model!? What is the method for creating shapes that were difficult to produce with a 3D printer? Information on useful materials.
This document is a series that proposes solutions to various challenges faced in production environments, from identifying issues to finding resolutions. We will introduce the challenges and solutions related to creating thin-walled models using 3D printers. [Document Overview] 3D printers used in research and development, with an increasing lineup ranging from low-cost to high-end models, have become more widespread. There are various printing methods such as FDM and SLA, which are operated according to their applications. However, regardless of the printing method, creating "thin-walled models" is considered difficult. You may encounter issues like, "The printing itself is challenging..." or "The quality is not what I expected..." Therefore, this time, we will introduce a method to easily create thin-walled models by utilizing two products: a 3D printer and a vacuum forming machine. While unraveling the factors that make thin-walled models difficult, we will explain how combining multiple products can achieve thin-walled models. *You can download the document using the button below.
