Some factors affecting the speed of 3D printer equipment

In 3D printing, the speed is also a concern of many people. If it is too slow, it is really time-consuming. In fact, the printing speed can be improved by some methods,

As long as we know which factors can affect the printing speed, let's talk about which factors will affect the speed of 3D printer.

1. Printer speed: each printer has a printing speed setting, and the printing speed will not exceed the value of this setting.

2. Material: the printing speed also depends on the type of printing material. Resins composed of different monomers, prepolymers, photoinitiators and various other additives directly lead to different characteristics and different curing time of materials.

3. Light source intensity: the printing speed depends on the intensity of the light source used. You can increase the printing speed by increasing the light intensity, but it also means additional costs.

4. Layer thickness: layer thickness affects both printing speed and printing model quality. The layer thickness required to print the model determines the printing speed and the printing time. The thinner the layer thickness, when printing a 3D model of the same height,

The more time it takes. Because when the total height remains the same, the thinner the layer thickness, which means that the printer needs to print more layers, and the longer it takes. But relatively, the thinner the layer thickness, the higher the quality of the finished product.

5. Model: the model itself also affects the printing speed. If the model is hollowed out and there are no more complex details, the printing will be much faster. Reasonable placement of models will also affect the printing speed.

Generally speaking, compared with vertical placement, the printing of the same model horizontally will be much faster, but the accuracy may be reduced.

To sum up, if the speed is sacrificed, the quality of the model will be improved. If the speed is accelerated, the quality of the model will be reduced. Therefore, choosing a 3D printer with good quality is the key.

High quality printers, while improving the printing speed, will take into account the printing quality, maximize the product quality and improve efficiency.
