Designing for 3D Printing
Design Guides
Before submitting any 3D model, ensure you have looked over the relevant design guide. These include recommended minimum wall thicknesses, tolerances & considerations when designing parts for printing. Design guides can be found on each printing technologies home page.
If you are designing parts that do not meet the design guides, please consult with dFab staff.
MSLA (resin) and SLS submissions that do not meet the design guides will likely be rejected due to:
potential damage to parts whilst removing support / de-powdering
machine maintenance and clean up required due to unsuccessful prints
3D Model Checklist
Once your part has been designed, ensure all parts follow the 3D Model checklist
