Notes from the workshop: how 3D printed pieces are planned, printed and finished.
How a design file becomes a 3D printed prototype in Dubai
See how a 3D printed prototype takes shape in Dubai: file checks, wall thickness, FDM vs SLA, real tolerances, sectioning, and finishing before it ships.
Large scale 3D printing: how pieces bigger than the printer are made
A two metre sculpture does not fit on a print bed. How it is split, printed in sections, joined and finished so the seams disappear.
FDM, SLA or SLS: which 3D printing technology fits your project
Three technologies compared by surface, detail, strength and size, with typical briefs and the technology each one calls for.
How to prepare a 3D model for printing: a checklist before you send the file
Seven things to check before you send a file: format, closed mesh, wall thickness, units, resolution, overhangs and clearances.
