Non-Planar Printing Non-planar printing involves extruding filament in curved or angled layers instead of the traditional flat, horizontal layers. This technique improves surface finish, strength, and aesthetics by eliminating visible layer lines. It allows for more complex geometries, smoother overhangs, and enhanced structural integrity. Non-planar printing requires specialized slicing software and precise control over the nozzle’s movement. It is particularly useful for creating aerodynamic parts, architectural models, and artistic sculptures. The approach reduces post-processing needs and expands the creative possibilities of 3D printing. |
