DownloadKey terms and definitions to help communicate projects between designer and manufacturer
三月 25, 2025
This eBook serves as a comprehensive glossary for designers and manufacturers in the additive manufacturing industry. It provides clear definitions of essential 3D printing terminology to facilitate effective communication during the design, build, and post-processing stages.
The glossary covers:
Core Concepts: Additive manufacturing, CAD, STL files, slicing, layer height, and support structures.
3D Printing Technologies: Material extrusion (FDM/FFF), material jetting (PolyJet/MJM), vat photopolymerization (SLA/DLP), and powder bed fusion (SLS, DMLM, MJF).
Design & Manufacturing Terms: Bounding box, build density, infill patterns, resolution, and orientation.
Post-Processing Techniques: Bonding, media blasting, vapor smoothing, and curing.
Additionally, the guide highlights the advantages of partnering with expert 3D printing service providers like Stratasys Direct for high-quality manufacturing solutions.
