When preparing your model for printing, please follow these guidelines:
- Model should be watertight with all surfaces stitched together to create a solid part.
- Assemblies can be exported and printed as a single file but each component must be a watertight solid.
- Minimum wall thickness for all features is 0.050”
- Cantilevered features should be thicker than 0.1” when possible
- Shelling out the inside of the volume saves material cost – shell thickness should be 0.25” or larger
- Unless this is to be incorporated into another base, a solid base should be included in the model with a thickness of 0.25” or larger
- Build envelope for the equipment (l x w x h) is 10 x 14 x 8”.
- If the model needs to be larger than this envelope, please create separate part files for each section or tile.
- Send the final files in either STL (monochrome), VRML, or 3DS (color) format.
- Provide design units and required scale information with your quote request
