Each 3D printing material has different properties, and each is best suited for specific applications. Dig into this guide to PLA density. We’ll explore density and its variations, explaining why this is important.
.
The density of 3D printing materials seems to be largely unknown. When looking into a filament, the first things we want to find out are the diameter and weight.
.
When setting up slicers, the specifications required are the diameter and the printing temperature. Density is set later, but it’s sometimes even ignored. Setting up the correct density of materials can be helpful for your material usage computations. Before printing, you can check for the correct material density of the filament, referring to the manufacturer’s data. Of course, predicting the exact amount of filament usage is impossible, but using density would make […]
