Lattice Print! |
What makes a good 3D print? How do we balance tensile, compressive, or sheer strength with part weight and print time? And what about build-plate adhesion and overhangs? In this workshop, DT Nicole will give an overview of the many factors you should consider when setting up a print on the Jacobs Ultimakers, and lead you through a part generation and submission of a novel lattice form. Great for first-time 3D printers, Fusion 360 beginners, and structural lattice enthusiasts! |
