DFM for 3D printing

Design for FDM: stronger 3D printed parts

FDM builds parts layer by layer. Orientation, load path, radii, wall thickness and tolerances matter.

Discuss your case Batch production

Summary

FDM builds parts layer by layer. Orientation, load path, radii, wall thickness and tolerances matter.

  • Place critical loads with layer direction in mind.
  • Use radii and smooth transitions.
  • Avoid unnecessary solid mass.
  • Specify tight tolerances only where needed.

Process

From CAD to repeatable production

1

Send files

CAD, drawing, photo or a short functional description.

2

Technical review

We review printability, material, orientation and risk.

3

Production

The batch is produced with repeatable parameters.

4

Re-ordering

Approved parts can get an article ID for faster repeat orders.
