3D Printing

What Is It?

3D printing is a manufacturing process where a digital model is turned into a physical object by adding material layer by layer. This process is controlled by a computer and commonly uses materials like plastic, metal, or resin to create a wide range of objects, from prototypes and tools to final products.

3D Printing

• Export your 3d Rhino design as STL file

• download 🌐 PrusaSlicer
• Choose i3 MK3S & MK3S+

• import your STL file

• Use this tool to move the object

• Use this tool to scale the object

• Use this tool to rotate the object

• Use this tool to place a specific object's face onto the ground.

• Use this tool to cut the object

• infill, is how much you want the object to be filled from the inside

• Choose the printer you are going to print this design on

• Supports provide stability and prevent overhangs during the printing process.

• Choose how detailed you want your model to be, keep in mind;

more details = more printing time

• Finally, Export G-code and copy it to an SD card

• By sliding this slider, you can see all the layers of the design

That's it! Now you can take your sd card to the 3d printer

Insert the SD card into the 3D printer's SD card slot on the left side.

Choose;
