What is 3D Printing Design?
3D printing design is the specialized process of creating detailed digital models optimized for additive manufacturing. Our engineers develop solutions that meet your functional and performance requirements using advanced CAD design for 3D printing and specialized software.
What do we offer under 3D Printing Design Services?
We help you create the best 3D print designs tailored to your specific needs. Our services include preparing precise STL files, designing components for optimal printing, and conducting strength validation through structural analysis. You receive comprehensive support across industries including automotive, consumer goods, industrial machinery, medical technology, and packaging systems.
We convert your CAD models into precise STL files optimized for flawless 3D printing using SolidWorks native export capabilities. Our experts optimize mesh density, resolve geometry errors, and ensure geometry accuracy through comprehensive STL File Preparation processes. We analyze optimal print orientations with detailed build orientation planning to ensure smooth printing processes and optimal part geometry. We provide multi-resolution STL files tailored to different printer capabilities and specific layer height requirements.
Transform your existing CAD files into 3D print-optimized models using our expertise in SolidWorks parametric design. We convert legacy designs from various formats (STEP, IGES, Parasolid) and update them with additive manufacturing considerations. Our team analyzes part geometry, modifies wall thickness, adds proper clearances, and ensures printability while maintaining original design intent. This service is perfect for businesses wanting to leverage their existing CAD libraries for 3D printing applications.
Our engineers optimize your designs for specific 3D printing materials and technologies with detailed part geometry analysis. We adjust geometry for PLA, ABS, PETG, and specialized materials, considering thermal expansion, shrinkage rates, and mechanical properties. Our build orientation planning ensures optimal layer adhesion and surface quality for each material type. Whether you’re printing with FDM, SLA, or SLS technology, we ensure your design performs optimally with your chosen material and printer combination through comprehensive geometry accuracy validation. This includes support structure optimization and infill pattern recommendations tailored to material characteristics.
Our DfAM service customizes components for optimal performance and manufacturability. We reduce weight while increasing mechanical strength using proven additive manufacturing principles and topology optimization techniques. This approach saves material, reduces printing time, and maintains design integrity. We focus on minimizing support structures, optimizing layer adhesion, and ensuring proper overhang angles for successful prints.
Design complex assemblies with multiple components optimized for 3D printing using SolidWorks assembly capabilities. We analyze part geometry relationships and create snap-fit connections, press-fit tolerances, and interlocking mechanisms that account for printed material properties and printer tolerances. Our build orientation planning ensures each component prints optimally while maintaining assembly functionality. Through detailed geometry accuracy analysis and STL File Preparation for each component, we ensure perfect fit and function. Our assemblies are designed to print-in-place or with minimal post-processing assembly requirements. This service is ideal for functional prototypes, mechanical systems, and complex consumer products.
We simulate real-world stresses on your prototypes to predict performance before printing begins using SolidWorks Simulation and advanced finite element analysis (FEA). Our team identifies potential failure points, analyzes layer-by-layer stress distribution, and considers anisotropic material properties unique to 3D printed parts. This ensures safety and durability while reducing costly physical testing requirements and print failures.
Step-by-Step Process
We begin by understanding your manufacturing requirements. Our team then prepares optimized STL files, applies DfAM strategies, and performs structural analysis to validate your prototype using various 3D printing design software solutions.
Benefits of Using Our 3D Printing Design Services
Common questions
How can 3D printing be used in the design process?
3D printing helps create fast prototypes to test form, fit, and function. It speeds up design validation and supports iterative improvements.
How long do 3D printing services take?
It depends on size, material, and complexity. Small prints may take a few hours, while larger models can take up to a few days.
How is 3D printing cost effective?
It cuts tooling and prototyping costs and reduces labor. Only the required material is used, minimizing waste and overall expenses.
