Technology Overview

What is 3D Printing

About the 3D Printing Process

3D Printing, or additive manufacturing, is a process that utilizes a CAD file (typically an STL) to produce a 3-dimensional part. Objects are produced layer by layer using a variety of different materials and layer adhesion technologies.

Types of 3D Printing

3D printing has evolved significantly over the decades and over time many different technologies have been developed:

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a common process for early stage prototypes. Machines range from hobbiest-grade to professional grade.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) uses high-powered lasers to sinter powdered material, binding it together to create a solid structure. This process is ideal for functional testing, in the low to mid volumes (10s to 100s of units).

Stereolithography (SLA) is known for achieving highly detailed and functionally accurate parts. The technology utilizes a mirror that is programmed to direct an ultraviolet laser to draw and cure a part's cross-section onto a vat of photopolymer resin.

HP® Multi Jet Fusion is a production-grade technology that spreads out a fine layer of powder, deposits a fluid in the desired areas, and then fuses those areas.

PolyJet is a 3D printing technology similar to inkjet document printing, but instead of jetting drops of ink onto paper, PolyJet machines jet layers of liquid photopolymer onto a build tray and instantly cure them with UV light. This process is ideal for visual models and functional prototypes.

Other technologies include: Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), Digital Light Processing (DLP), Electronic Beam Melting (EBM), Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM), and others.

Advantages of 3D Printing

Additive manufacturing can provide more flexibility in geometry compared to subtractive manufacturing methods (CNC). Thus, a higher level of complexity can be more easily achieved through 3D printing. Compared with injection molding, 3D printed parts do not require costly tooling, thus technologies like Multi Jet Fusion can be a great option for production parts at lower volumes.

3D Printing Design Considerations

While there are fewer limitations in terms of manufacturability for 3D printing when compared with CNC machining, there are still a few things to keep in mind. Wall thickness is one of the main design considerations to ensure your parts are structurally sound. You can read more about our wall thickness recommendations in this article. When you upload a CAD model to the Fictiv platform, you will receive manufacturability feedback that lets you know of any design risks.

3D Printing Getting Started Guide

Time to read: 3 min

This quick start guide is designed to you help you become familiar with Fictiv’s online tools for 3D printing.

Read on for a step-by-step guide to help you:

  1. Properly prepare your CAD files
  2. Export your files with the correct settings
  3. Upload your files to Fictiv
  4. Choose the right 3D printing material

Step 1: Prepare Your CAD Files

Before uploading your CAD files to Fictiv, it’s important to double check your files are properly prepared.

Here are 3 things to look out for when checking your files:

1. Only one part per file

Be sure to separate parts into individual files and delete any unnecessary shells.

2. Be aware of maximum print sizes

Here are the maximum print sizes for each material:

PLA285 x 153 x 155mm11.2 x 6.0 x 6.1in
ABS406 x 355 x 406mm16. 0 x 14.0 x 16.0in
VeroWhite290 x 190 x 140mm11.4 x 7.4 x 5.5in
Transparent290 x 190 x 140mm11.4 x 7.4 x 5.5in
Rubber-Like342 x 342 x 200mm13.4 x 13.4 x 7.8in
ABS-Like342 x 342 x 200mm13.4 x 13.4 x 7.8in
Nylon340 x 340 x 600mm13.3 x 13.3 x 23.6in
VisiClear295 x 180 x 200mm11.6 x 7.0 x 7.8in

If your part exceeds the following dimensions, use this quick tutorial to slice your part.

3. Check your units

It’s very easy to accidentally export your model in the wrong units; double check your units before submitting your files so you receive the right size part!

Step 2. Export Your CAD Files

Best Choice: STEP File

STEP files carry all of the parametric data required so we can easily read the part size and geometry.

Second Choice: STL File

STL files work well, however there are no associated units and holes/gaps (watertightness) can cause issues when producing parts.

Here are the specific settings to choose when exporting STL files from Solidworks, Inventor, and Rhino:

Solidworks
  1. Click Options in ‘Save As’ menu
  2. Set Deviation to 0.0005in and the Angle to 5 degrees

Inventor
  1. Click Options in ‘Save As’ menu
  2. Set Detail Level to High

Rhino
  1. After saving filename, select Binary
  2. Mesh Options > Detail Controls
  3. Set Max Angle to 20 degrees
  4. Max Aspect Ratio to 6
  5. Minimum Edge Length to 0.0001

Step 3: Upload Your Files

Here’s a few things to look out for when uploading files to Fictiv.

Keep Files Under 10MB

We prefer files to be under 10MB; if your files are larger than this, refer back to step 2 to adjust your settings and lower your part resolution.

Select the Proper Units

When you submit files for a quote, you’ll select the part units; make sure they match the units you designed the model in.

Step 4: Choose the Right Material

Use this decision tree to help you choose the best material for your part:

If you choose Rubber-Like, make sure to select a durometer.

Here are some rubber comparisons for each shore choice:

Shore 27ARubber Band
Shore 40APencil Eraser
Shore 50ABike Inner-tube
Shore 60ATire Thread
Shore 70AShoe Heel
Shore 85ARollerblade Wheels
Shore 95AShopping Cart Wheels

Note that each part can only be printed in one color.

All materials, with the exception of ABS and PLA, print in their natural color:
