This design guidelines is for a 3d modeler that wants to design 3d models for 3d printing. When we design 3d model for 3d printing or additive manufacturing, we must know there is some restriction. Please read <General 3D printing design rules> to know about the restriction. Even you know the restriction clearly, maybe you …
What is lattice structure A lattice structure is an engineering or architectural structure made of a crisscross pattern of strips. It can help you to make your objects lighter but stronger. Lattice structures are more than an ornamental feature since they give your final object a reinforced and optimized structure. The lattice designs feature a …

After a 3D print finishes in a single color and you want to make it colorful or add some patterns, hydro dipping is a great post-processing technique that can help you to do that. Not only can the pattern be added on flat surfaces, but it can be freely added on 3D curved surfaces. So it is …

PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is one of the most common plastic.And PETG filament may be your next favorite besides ABS and PLA in 3d printing. It is very durable and strong,even more durable than ABS.But it is softer,less brittle than ABS. PETG is easy to print like PLA. So usually we can consider that PETG is a …
PVA filament(Polyvinyl Alcohol) is soluble in water at a normal temperature, and it is the primary advantage to use as 3d printing filament. Due to this characteristic, usually it is used as supporting material for PLA on FDM 3d printers. After you print a 3d model with PLA and PVA filament,you can dip it into water. Then PVA …
TPU filament(Thermoplastic Polyurethane) becomes more and more popular in 3d printing. It is ideal for 3d printers which work with PLA and ABS. TPU is usually used to print parts that need to be flex or bend during application,and you can twist, stretch, squeeze the parts that made from TPU. It is also used to make industrial parts due …
What is 3d mesh model When we speak of a 3d mesh model we normally refer to a polygon mesh model. A mesh is a graph which defines a 3d shape. A 3d mesh model consists of vertices, edges and faces. Usually the faces consist of quadrilaterals, triangles or other simple convex polygons. A face …

How to buy the best desktop 3d printer? Before you buy a printer,that is the first thing, but maybe you don’t know how to do that.The following is a 3d printer buying guide for you. Nowadays, 3d printer has become a good help to bring your idea to life. On the market there are a …
HIPS filament(High Impact PolyStyrene) is very similar to ABS, but it is stronger than ABS. It is glossy, sturdy, durable, non-toxic,non-hydroscopic,food safe and fully recyclable. And there are different colors material for you to choose. The most advantage is that HIPS can be dissolved in limonene. And that means it is a very good material …
PLA material (Polylactic Acid) is one of the most common 3D printing materials. It is environmentally friendly and derived from renewable resources like sugar cane or corn starch. You can use the material to manufacture many objects. When cooling, this material contracts less than ABS, so you can get greater details than ABS, but it is …
