Any time you print an FFF part, you have to decide what print settings to use. You may find yourself asking questions like: "How thick should the shell...
We recently teamed up with our partner Polymaker to demonstrate the performance of their PolyMide™ CoPA filament by comparing predictions from...
One of the most powerful functions in SmartSlice is the Optimize tool. An enhancement to the Validate tool, which evaluates the performance of an...
Having reliable simulations of 3D printed parts requires understanding the effect of individual print parameters on the performance of the part. One...
It is well known that the orientation of a part on the build plate influences as-printed part characteristics such as stiffness, strength, and surface...
The fundamental value of SmartSlice is reducing the time and costs associated with developing a part that meets end-use requirements. Traditionally,...
Our previous post was about interlayer strength versus layer height for polymer FFF parts and we talked about how geometric and thermal effects...
As designers and engineers, we are often interested in the mechanical behavior of our parts and when it comes to 3D printed parts, there are certain...
As additive manufacturing of plastics continues to shift from prototyping to production there is an increasing demand from designers and engineers to...
