How to Create Texturing Patterns on FDM 3D Printed Parts

Stratasys
in 3D Printing
16 0 Beginner
When producing FDM parts that will be installed in user-facing applications, or when FDM prototypes need to have a more interesting appearance, surface profile and finish are critical. Texturing a part file allows for a unique pattern or design to be built directly into part surfaces, reducing the layer line visibility as well as post-processing time. Coatings and paint can be applied directly to the textured surface to create a finished part.

How to Create Variable Density FDM 3D Printed Parts

Stratasys
in 3D Printing
1 0 Beginner
A unique characteristic of FDM technology is that a single part can have regions with different build styles, which can be used to make a part with variable densities. With just a few minutes of extra design and pre-processing, you can save hours of build time and/or dramatically improve the part’s properties.
