In the field of 3D printing, structure is not only a carrier of function and form but also a product of the combination of art and technological innovation. Each structure has a unique charm and application value. Today I will take you to understand eight structural models and explore the structural art of 3D printing.
1
Solid structure:
As solid as a rock, as stable as Mount Tai
Solid structure, like a solid building block, consistent inside and out, without holes.
Features: high strength, good stability, and durability.
Disadvantages: Relatively heavy weight.
Difficulty: Low, suitable for beginners.
Scope of application: Items that need to be load-bearing or structurally stable, such as tool handles, parts, etc.
Printing details: Adjust the printing speed appropriately to ensure print quality.
2
Grid structure:
Light and clear, beauty and practicality coexist
The grid structure is intertwined like a honeycomb, creating a unique visual effect.
Features: lightweight, less consumables, and unique visual effects.
Disadvantages: The strength is relatively low, there is a risk of support residue during the printing process, and the surface treatment is cumbersome.
Difficulty: Moderate, requires certain printing skills.
Scope of application: decorations, models, artwork, etc.
Print details: Optimize mesh density, balance strength, and weight.
3
Hollow structure:
The inside and outside are transparent, and the artistic atmosphere comes to your face.
The hollow structure is like a finely carved handicraft, with exquisite patterns or text left inside.
Features: Rich visual levels, both artistic and practical.
Disadvantages: The technical requirements are high, and printing is difficult; printing generates many supports, and the surface treatment is cumbersome.
Difficulty: High, requires detailed printing parameter settings.
Scope of application: artwork, design models, displays, etc.
Print details: Use support structures to ensure print quality.
4
Hollow structure:
Different inside and outside, light and practical
The hollow structure has a complete appearance and is hollow inside, making it lightweight and saving materials.
Features: Light and consumable-saving, moderate strength.
Disadvantages: Not strong enough, there is a risk of support residue, and surface treatment is cumbersome.
Difficulty: Moderate, need to control wall thickness and stability.
Scope of application: Large items, containers, display racks, etc.
Printing details: Reasonable design of wall thickness to ensure strength.
5
Bridge structure:
Across space, realizing infinite possibilities
Bridge structures use supports to connect different parts to create a bridge effect.
Features: Achieve complex shapes across space.
Disadvantages: The support structure may affect the appearance, the printing generates more supports, and the surface treatment is more cumbersome.
Difficulty: High, requiring accurate calculation of support positions and printing parameters.
Scope of application: complex structures, bridge models, architectural models, etc.
Printing details: Optimize support structure and reduce marks.
6
Tree structure:
The beauty of nature, a model of bionic design
The tree-like structure imitates the growth of trees in nature and appears branch-like.
Features: Beautiful and elegant, natural and harmonious. Suitable for bionic design.
Disadvantages: The structure is complex, the printing generates many supports, and the surface treatment is cumbersome.
Difficulty: Moderate; need to adjust the thickness and density of branches.
Scope of application: plant models, bionic designs, decorations, etc.
Print details: Finely adjust branch angles and density.
7
Spiral structure:
Dynamic and crea tive
The spiral structure spirals upward like a spring, full of movement.
Features: Unique shape, elastic and beautiful.
Disadvantages: Printing is difficult and requires precise control.
Difficulty: High, you need to control the printing speed and accuracy.
Scope of application: spring models, dynamic displays, toys, etc.
Printing details: Control printing speed and layer height to ensure structural integrity.
8
Lattice structure:
Detailed and meticulous, striving for perfection
The lattice structure consists of small dots forming a dense and uniform array.
Features: high strength, good stability, delicate surface.
Disadvantages: The surface may not be smooth enough, printing generates more supports, and surface treatment is more cumbersome.
Difficulty: Moderate; need to adjust the spacing and size of dots.
Scope of application: Items that require high precision and stability, such as parts, molds, etc.
Print details: Use fine layer heights and print speeds to improve surface quality.
Different structures show their charm in the world of 3D printing. Whether we are pursuing practicality or art, these structures can satisfy our unremitting pursuit of beauty and function. Designers and engineers use these structural principles to continuously explore and innovate, perfectly combining imagination and functionality to create amazing works one after another. With the continuous advancement and innovation of technology, we believe that in the future, more unprecedented and exquisite structures will continue to emerge in the field of 3D printing, adding more colors and possibilities to our world.
