3D printing software workflow
- [Instructor] One of the things that makes debugging a problem on a 3D print challenging is that problems can be caused by the interaction of the printer hardware, the models, the materials and quirks of the various software used along the way. This movie discusses the first part of the software workflow for 3D printing and points out some of the key failure points. There are three steps in the process required to create a 3D print. You use one or more pieces of software for each step. In this movie, we'll start talking through the 3D printing process and summarize when you might want to use different software to work around particular types of problems. To start the process you'll need a file that defines a physical model. This model file may come from 3D computer aided design, or CAD software, or it might be a 3D scan. CAD programs like Tinkercad and OpenSCAD natively use a technique called constructive solid geometry,…
