3D Printing Thursday: Mesh Editing in SOLIDWORKS for Better 3D Prints

Ғылым және технология

In todays 3D printing Thursday video we'll discuss how you can import in mesh files, like a 3D scan or printable file, into SOLIDWORKS for editing.
One of the most important processes of any printing workflow is ensuring your files can adhere to the print bed and will have good geometry to successfully print. Using SOLIDWORKS Mesh modeling tools we can remove parts of mesh files to give them a flat underside or delete unnecessary data and add in new features that are easier to print.
If you would like to download the wrench file used at the end of the video to follow along you can do so via Artec's 3D example models here: artec3d.com/3d-models/adjusting-lever

    I didn’t know you had 3D Printing Thursday. Will check it out. Btw in prusa slicer you can drag that eagle status below the print bed to make it flat. You can have negative Z height now. And it can import STEP file too for higher resolution.

    I didn't know either. Regarding PrusaSlicer, you can also cut the bottom off and snap to bed, adding the block, and text. I can understand the aid with complex meshes but slicers are powerful enough to do that simple stuff. I want to have Solidworks to become the slicer.

    @@blindside_o0 the only problem of having SW for slicer is that prusa/ultimaker frequently update the slicer to make really powerful, SW takes way to much time. And I am sure I saw a way to print directly from SW that possible. In my case I found a macro online where you can click a button and it magically open prusa slicer with the part in it!! Then got other button in prusa slicer that send to printer and start printing (using octoprint)
