View source for Build Volume (3D Printing)

[[Category:3D Printing]]
We have a range of 3D printers with differing build volumes - if you have a small model pretty much any of the printers will work, but if you have a larger model then you might be restricted to a few machines - unless you break it into multiple parts.

The Formlabs Fuse 1 differs from our other 3D printers because it prints in 3D space by selectively sintering nylon powder. Because of this, the entire build volume can be used instead of just what will fit onto the build plate.

The corners of the build chamber are filleted, and sometimes the slicing software complains about parts being placed too close to the edges. Because of this, the maximum individual part size is approximately 155 x 155 mm in the X and & axes.
