Design Guidelines for 3D Printing Techniques
3D printing part sizes：
| FDM | 200 x 200 x 200 mm for desktop printers, up to 900 x 600 x 900 mm for industrial printers |
| SLA | 145 x 145 x 175 mm for desktop printers, up to 1500 x 750 x 500 mm for industrial printers |
| DMLS/SLM | 250 x 150 x 150 mm, up to 500 x 280 x 360 mm |
| SLS | 300 x 300 x 300 mm, up to 750 x 550 x 550 mm |
| MJF | 380 x 285 x 380 mm |
Supports in 3D printing
Supports are a type of structure of a part, that can help to prevent deformation and secure the part to the printing bed during the 3D printing process. Can you print without supports and when do you need that? Yes, you can 3D print without support. Take the FDM 3D printing as an example, when a feature is printed with an overhang of more than 45 degrees, it may sag enough to destroy the part, at this point you need a support structure. In another case, bridging allows parts to be printed without the use of support material and with minimal sag because hot materials can be stretched out. But if the bridge is longer than 5 mm and you need a good surface finish, a support structure is required. In addition, SLA and DLP 3D printers generally use supports.
Comprehensive Material & Color Options for 3D Printing
Choose from a wide range of engineering and standard materials, including PLA, ABS, Nylon, and TPU—available in multiple colors to meet both functional and aesthetic requirements. Ideal for rapid prototyping and custom production.
Dimensional accuracy in 3D printing
The dimensional accuracy refers to how accurate the size and form of the printed part are compared to that in the CAD design. Factors that affect dimensional accuracy include material quality, equipment, post-processing, and more. Dimensional tolerance, shrinkage, and support requirements are three key elements to measuring dimensional accuracy. Below are the dimensional tolerance of different 3D processes.
| FDM dimensional tolerance | prototyping (desktop):±0.5% (lower limit:±0.5 mm), industrial:±0.15% (lower limit:±0.2 mm) |
| SLA dimensional tolerance | prototyping (desktop):±0.5% (lower limit:±0.10 mm) industrial:±0.15% (lower limit:±0.01 mm) |
| SLS/MJF dimensional tolerance | ±0.3% (lower limit:±0.3 mm) |
