Optimizing 3D Print Packing Density: Innovative Techniques and Cost Efficiency
In this example build inspired by an oil and gas customer, we demonstrate advanced techniques to optimize packing density for 3D printed spacers and crush washers. By nesting parts inside each other and using array tools, we significantly increase the number of parts per build, reducing the cost per part to 27 cents. Watch as we take you through the steps to achieve a 34% packing density, resulting in a build of 600 parts within 15 hours and 40 minutes.
