SLA (stereolithography): ± 0.2 % (with a lower limit of ± 0.2 mm) The stereolithography (SLA including DLP), together with Polyjet, is the most accurate method. The diameter of the laser is usually between 100 and 150 µm. This is much less compared to the FDM method. This results in fewer tolerances and the […]
Depending on the alignment of the component during printing, different results may occur for the surface. Depending on the printing process, this more or less influences the quality of the finished component. Therefore attention should be paid to the alignment while printing, whether there are certain functional areas in the component, where a smoother surface […]
Depending on the requirements of the finished component, 3D printing also requires a certain amount of reworking of the printed parts. For example, support structures or masses have to be removed manually. Likewise, the parts are subjected to various methods of blasting or vibratory finishing as required. Manual sanding may also be required to get […]
The accuracy of a 3D printing part depends on the respective method and the quality of the printer. The filament used and the quality of the CAD data also play a role here. Basic information on tolerances in 3D printing Compared to injection moulding or machining processes, the possible deviations are greater in 3D printing. […]
For example, if the delivery must be extremely fast – 24h up to a maximum of 3 days. In addition, the more complex the component, the more beneficial it is to make the components directly in 3D printing. Due to the tool-less manufacturing, complexity does not cause any additional costs. For small parts under 5 […]
