Dovetail Joint A dovetail joint is a type of interlocking feature often incorporated into 3D-printed designs to securely join two parts without adhesives or fasteners. These joints are characterized by their trapezoidal shape, which resists pulling forces and provides a strong, durable connection. Dovetail joints are frequently used in furniture, mechanical assemblies, and modular designs where strength and ease of assembly are essential. By leveraging the precision of 3D printing, designers can create intricate dovetail joints that fit perfectly, reducing the need for post-processing or manual adjustments. |
