Set your 3D printer to print in a symmetrical way, and then you can use any model. It doesn’t matter if you are printing a piece of art or something more practical like the new machine parts you need for your job. This is just one example of how 3D printing can open up new opportunities for you.

You may have noticed that some commercial products come with small defects on them. Perhaps a small color difference or some other minor detail that could be improved upon, but is overlooked because it costs too much to make changes. However, using this technique will help you create pieces that look perfect every time, and that’s probably better than settling for an item with a tiny defect.

This is actually a great tip for when you want to make items that aren’t necessarily symmetrical, but need to be visually balanced. So if you decide to use this technique, be sure to try it out on all sorts of items. Whether they are symmetrical or not, you will still want to get them looking as good as possible. And since 3D printers can handle whatever models you want them to create, there will never be any limits on what you can do.*

3D Printing is a great way to prototype objects for clients or for yourself.

As a 3D printing company, we know a lot about the materials that are suitable for additive manufacturing. But what if you want to use your own material? What are the most suitable materials? You can learn a lot from our blog.

There are a few tricks you can use if you want to print a symmetrical object. The first is to give the model some kind of symmetry, like an axis that runs straight down the middle of it. That way, you can print it in two half-pieces and then glue them together afterwards.

The second trick is to use supports, which is a way of printing objects on top of one another. You’ll probably have to play around with your CAD model a little bit to make sure every part has some kind of hole where it touches the other parts. Then, when you’re ready to print, you tell your 3D printer that those parts need to be supported underneath with some kind of temporary structure while they’re being printed. The printer can then put those supports in there while it’s printing, and then they’ll be easy to remove afterwards.

You might also want to look into Slic3r and Skeinforge , which are both free plugins for OpenSCAD (which is free software for creating models) that will probably save you a lot of time when it comes time to send your model off to actually get printed.

For the past couple of years I’ve been working on a new style of geometric wall art. It’s called tessellation art, and it combines the precision of 3D printing with the geometry of tiling patterns.

The art I’ve created so far is based on an eight-sided tile shape called a rhombicuboctahedron (a.k.a. “small stellated dodecahedron”). The rhombicuboctahedron is one of the five Platonic solids, so it has been around for a while. I also just learned that Buckminster Fuller used this shape in his designs for dome structures like the United States Pavilion at Expo 67 and the Montreal Biosphère. So it’s not like I invented this shape or anything (not that I would want to take credit for someone else’s creation).

I’m sure there are other artists out there who have created their own 3D printed rhombicuboctahedra, but most of them have focused more on making a solid object than creating an interesting surface pattern. So that’s what I’ve been doing: finding interesting patterns in the symmetrical layout of these shapes and then translating them into printable STL files for use with an Ob

3D printing is a method of making 3 dimensional objects from a digital file. The objects are built up layer by layer until the final object is created. There are many different materials and methods for 3D printing, but most commonly the plastic used for 3D printing today is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) or polylactic acid (PLA).
