3D Models For Printing: CAD Software & Slicing Programs Beginner Guide Launched

Functionalize has compiled a new in-depth guide to 3D modeling, including tips on the right computer-aided design (CAD) software for beginners.

New York, United States - November 17, 2023 /PressCable/ —

With the latest release, the site continues to educate readers on the fundamentals of the 3D printing process. Their guide covers initial model design, converting this to 'slices', and the different tools available in order for users to create an effective 3D model prior to printing.

In its latest guide, Functionalize provides tips and best practices for using CAD software to model objects for 3D printing. The expert explains that CAD platforms allow users to digitally construct detailed models that can then be sliced into printable layers and produced on a 3D printer. The author recommends several software options including TinkerCAD, Blender, Sketchup, FreeCAD, Fusion 360, and 3D Printing Design.

The guide also covers important considerations like managing overhangs and holes in objects as well as techniques for minimizing support material needed during printing, along with clear instructions for reinforcing bridges to prevent print failures.

The global 3D printing market is projected to reach $106 billion by 2030 according to Fortune Business Insights. Recognizing this, Functionalize offers advice for newcomers looking to use this transformative technology - whether for business or hobby pursuits.

Readers will learn how to effectively control model orientation, scale designs to print volume, and choose optimal layer heights. The guide teaches skills like hollowing, splitting, and optimizing models for faster printing and material efficiency - which are important for creating a neat finish.

While the guide can be used as a starting point, for those pursuing further education on the process Functionalize recommends seeking out the more extensive documentation provided by each CAD software company. Notable differences exist across the various options, and individuals will naturally develop preferences for the program they find most intuitively matches their creative approach.

"Figuring out how to create a 3D model for printing means learning about three major areas," the author explains. "You need to be familiar with your preferred CAD software, have knowledge of the 3D printing design requirements and specifications, and possess an understanding of the slicing process."
