The fan blades in the photo below demonstrate this ability to dynamically adjust the flow, achieving a sharper leading edge that more closely matches the designer’s intent. The same technology has also been applied to the interior of the model, ensuring walls are properly sealed to improve the strength of critical components. This enables your 3D printer to produce smaller and more accurate shapes than previously possible. The latest release from Simplif圓D includes new techniques that will dynamically adjust the amount of plastic that is extruded from the nozzle to create smaller or larger extrusions depending on the shapes you are trying to print.
Many guidelines recommend creating models that are at least 1mm wide in all locations, but with Version 4.0 we are introducing new technology to greatly improve these capabilities”, says the company. “One of the major limitations that we have seen with extrusion-based (FFF/FDM) 3D printers is the minimum feature size that can be printed with a standard extruder. For example, the Chess Piece in the diagram below was 3D printed with varying properties to improve the print quality in different section and provide a lower center of gravity, all while still improving the overall print time by 22%. You could add strength or weight in one section, while optimizing another section to be light-weight or to achieve a faster manufacturing time. Simplif圓D allows customers to change any setting they want for different sections of a model, unlocking new possibilities such as changing the mechanical properties of your model throughout the build.
This allows Simplif圓D customers to achieve a level of control similar to high-end CNC machining software. Version 4.0 introduces the Variable Settings Wizard, which makes it easy to optimize the behavior in each section of your model. Different sections of a model may require different settings to achieve the best results. “New features in Version 4.0 will help our customers improve their print quality and unlock new capabilities with their 3D printers”.Įxperienced users understand improving your print quality is a result of optimizing the settings that are used during the printing process.
“We’ve always been focused on pushing the limits of what you can accomplish with additive manufacturing”, said Clayton Webster, CEO, Simplif圓D.
