| Shrinkage Compensation Shrinkage compensation refers to the adjustments made in a 3D printing process to counteract material contraction during cooling. Thermoplastics like ABS tend to shrink more than PLA, leading to warping or dimensional inaccuracies. In SLS and metal 3D printing, shrinkage compensation is crucial due to sintering-related size reductions. Design modifications or software corrections (such as scaling up a model slightly) help ensure that the final dimensions match the intended specifications. Shrinkage varies depending on factors such as material composition, print speed, and cooling rates, requiring fine-tuned settings for accuracy. |
