Beam Thickness Beam thickness is a parameter in 3D printing design that refers to the minimum width or diameter of structural elements within a model. It determines the strength, durability, and printability of the object. Thin beams may result in weak or failed prints, especially if the layer height and nozzle diameter are not properly matched. Slicer software often includes minimum thickness recommendations based on the printer's capabilities and the material used. Ensuring appropriate beam thickness is critical for creating functional and stable prints, particularly for engineering applications. |
