Deformation Compensation Deformation compensation is the process of adjusting a 3D model’s design to counteract warping, shrinkage, or other distortions that occur during printing. This is particularly important when working with materials like ABS, which can shrink unevenly during cooling. By pre-deforming the digital model in the opposite direction of expected distortions, users can ensure the final print matches the intended design. Advanced simulation software can predict deformation and provide automated compensation adjustments, streamlining the process for complex or critical components. This technique is widely used in industrial applications where dimensional accuracy is paramount. |
