3d printers and 3d models for them

3D printers are becoming more and more common, both in Russia and around the world. Today you won’t surprise anyone with them. Moreover, both industrial models used in production and small, amateur 3D printers are gaining popularity.

In fact, with a 3D printer you can make not only trinkets, but also quite important and necessary household items, spare parts, toys, models and decor. The scope of application is very diverse. And it includes a variety of industries and areas.

In this article we will tell you a little about 3D printers, about 3D models for them and tell you where to get new models with interesting designs. And also what is important to consider when modeling for 3D printers.

About printers:

The main materials for printing on a 3D printer are most often various plastics and silicone, less often other raw materials.

There are many types of 3D printing (for example, stereolithography, selective laser sintering, powder bonding, inkjet modeling, lamination, etc.). We will not dwell on each option in more detail. If you wish, you can always find information.

The size of the finished product most often depends on the size of the printer itself.

The speed of work is from half an hour to several hours.

3D printing has many advantages. And this is not only the speed of work, the availability of materials. But there is also the possibility of manufacturing exclusive gizmos and parts that are not included in mass production or have been removed from it.

The undoubted advantages of 3D printing also include the relative cheapness of raw materials and low resource consumption (the work does not require a long time and the participation of several people in the process). Indisputable advantages are also the economical consumption of material and waste-free production (plastic remaining after printing can often be reused).

About 3D models for 3D printers:

As we said above, printing on a 3D printer is not difficult. It is enough to follow the working rules and take into account the characteristics of the materials.

The main condition for a successful result is careful development of the 3D model before loading it.

Most 3D printers accept and recognize Stl files very well. That is, any file from our site may be suitable for you.

In general, Stl is a format originally invented for stereolithography. Such files contain all the information about the surface geometry of the three-dimensional object being developed.

We talked in more detail about what stl files are and what programs they are opened in in a separate article. See the link.

Most often these days, stl files are used to work on CNC machines and 3D printers.

Also, some printer models support OBJ, 3DS and other formats.

Such stl files are created in various CAD programs. You can learn 3D modeling yourself. Or you can purchase ready-made models. For example, in our catalogue.

We have a huge range of 3D Stl models. If necessary, we can adapt any of them to the requirements of your printers.

Our range includes more than 10 thousand models. This will allow you to find a suitable prototype for your future product.

In addition, we are ready to produce any 3D model to order. To do this, write to us, attaching a photo, picture, sketch, text description of the future product.

How to design a model for a 3D printer? What to consider?

• Firstly, when creating a complex object, it is important to add so-called supports. These are support structures that are removed after printing is complete. Some should be added in those areas of the model that remain exposed to air.
• Secondly, when creating a light openwork object, it is important to consider that the holes should not be too small and the walls should not be too thin. Otherwise, the printer will not be able to reproduce such areas.
• In addition, there is a certain procedure for modeling some complex objects.
• Our specialists take all this into account when modeling for 3D printers.
