Accuracy Accuracy in 3D printing refers to how closely the dimensions and features of the printed object match the original digital design. It is influenced by factors such as printer calibration, layer height, material properties, and environmental conditions. High accuracy is essential for functional prototypes, engineering parts, and applications requiring tight tolerances. FDM printers typically have lower accuracy compared to resin-based technologies like SLA or DLP. Achieving optimal accuracy requires regular maintenance, proper calibration of axes and extrusion systems, and selecting the right print settings. Ensuring accuracy helps create parts that are dimensionally consistent and fit for their intended purpose. |
