3D printing with the progress of technology, more and more appear in our lives. In the actual printing process, very easy to warp, then how to avoid warpage? The following provides several preventive measures, please refer to use.
1. Leveling the desktop machine is a key step in 3D printing. Ensuring that the platform is flat enhances the adhesion between the model and the platform and avoids warping.
2. Choose the right material, such as high molecular weight plastic material, which has good heat resistance and tensile strength and can effectively resist warping.
3. The use of a heat bed can provide a stable temperature and increase the adhesion of the model’s base layer, reducing the possibility of warping.
4. Applying glue on the surface of the platform can increase the adhesion between the model and the platform and reduce warping.
5. Setting up the print base provides additional support in the slicing software, increasing the contact area between the model and the platform and reducing the degree of model warping.
6. Reduce the printing speed can avoid the model bending and deformation caused by too fast speed in the printing process.
7. Optimize the support structure for models that need support, the appropriate support structure can effectively reduce the warping phenomenon.
8. Preheat the printing platform by increasing the temperature of the printing platform, which can reduce the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material during the printing process, thus reducing the warpage.
9. Maintain environmental humidity A proper humidity environment can reduce the material’s moisture absorption and expansion, thus reducing the risk of warpage.
10. Adjust the printing parameters such as increasing the printing speed, reducing the layer thickness or filling density and other parameter adjustments can improve the warpage phenomenon.
11. Remove redundant support structures For models that require support structures, removing redundant support structures can improve the warpage phenomenon.
12. Post-processing For models that have warped, you can use the deformation tool in the slicing software to correct the warped part.
13. Use professional software for warping prediction Some professional 3D printing software provides warping prediction function, which can detect and repair possible warping problems in advance.
