Feather Edges & Your 3D Printing Projects: What You Need to Know


At the start of every project, each customer uploads their design files before obtaining a quote. Files instantly upload to a proprietary system that checks the file integrity and ensures it’s ready to go. For certain 3D printing processes, like DLP, SLA, and SLS, Quickparts customers can get an instant quote from just a request and file upload to start a new project. For these projects, the process is seamless and fast, and project turnaround time can be a matter of just a few days. For more complex projects, design files need a manual review, but we work to ensure it’s completed quickly, and the process is just as easy!

Setting Up for Success

Each manufacturing process requires a different minimum thickness for the part to print successfully and without a feather edge. If the design file does not meet those minimum thicknesses, the end result can be warping or a rippled edge.

Sheet Metal Services in UK - Quickparts UK

Image
Sheet Metal services come in a variety of capabilities such as bending, shearing, staking, and stamping. These parts are commonly used in drilling, tapping, counterboring, and countersinking operations. Sheet metal parts can fit many projects, from simple bent sheet metal prototypes to production runs of complex, multi-part assemblies.  Quickparts produces sheet metal parts through laser cutting, water jet, or chemical etching processes to form blanks from sheet metal stock. These blanks are then bent to shape using press brakes or quick custom tooling to form the final geometry. We support all your sheet metal services with our state-of-the-art sheet metal fabrication facility that includes vertically integrated metal forming, laser cutting/punching, CNC machining, welding, and finishing cells to support both prototype and production runs of high-quality sheet metal enclosures and housings. +44 (0) 1494 370088 team.uk@quickparts.com Wycombe Sands, Lane End Road, High Wycombe, HP...

3D Printing Tips & Tricks

What is warping? “Warping” occurs with many 3D printing processes, particularly when heating and cooling are involved, which cause material shrinkage, where the corners of the print lift and detach from the build plate.  Stereolithography (SLA)  and  Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)  can be affected most by warping;  Digital Light Processing (DLP)  can also be affected, but it’s not common because the build envelope is so small. Of these, SLS has the most potential for warping. Our Quickparts team works to keep you aware of when a part can warp and what may cause it to do so. We watch for potential issues in everything from the design file to the temperature of our facility, the time of year, and when a piece will arrive at its destination and discuss any factors with you. These could include changing the shipping times, sending the part in a temperature-controlled shipping container, or adjusting your file. Visit here for more details:  https://quickpa...
