Design for 3D-Printing
Deep dive into mechanical design that is optimized for 3d-printing.
This approach is close in spirit to the german book Konstruktionspraxis im Maschinenbau by Gerhard Hoenow and Thomas Meißner ( Hanser Fachbuch, ISBN 978-3-446-46485-8). An important distinction that I need to make at this point is how the approach of design engineering attacks the problem from the completely opposite side compared to, for example, slicer developers and 3d-printer manufacturers. Even if no overhang is involved, when the fillet sits on top, the changing curvature will make the layer steps very visible, degrading the part finish.
