3D Printing with SketchUp: Use SketchUp to generate print-ready models and transform your project from concept to reality [Dietzen Aka 'the Sketchup Guy', Aaron] on Amazon.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. 3D Printing with SketchUp: Use...
As far as working in SketchUp you have to make sure you are creating what SketchUp calls solid objects (groups and components). They will be considered manifold or watertight which is required of the .stl file for printing. To be printable thee components/groups must have no stray edges, holes, or internal faces. All faces have to be oriented correctly with the back faces toward the print media and the front faces toward air. If your models are clean and properly created you should have no problem.
Yes. Faces in SketchUp have a front and a back. The default front face color is white and the default back is blue-gray. Before you start applying materials to your models you need to first ensure that all faces are correctly oriented.
Hi all, just today, the small parts I designed in inventor are being printed smaller then the model size. I have confirmed this now with a number of designs (circles, squares) and despite Prusa Slicer indicating the correct size both visually (on the grid) AND under object INFO, when printing the objects are between 12 and 14% smaller?! (Ex a test square at 30mm both ways printed at 26mm both ways). This is the first time this has ever happened in years of printing with no changes to the printer itself or the slicer software. Obviously I'm not adjusting the scale factors either in Prusa slicer - all at 100%.
Here's what I need to do. I have 6 models... all the same model. Each model needs to be printed with different layer settings. So, Model 1=0.05mm layer, Model 2 = 0.07mm layer, etc. I can generate the g-code for each one... but can I generate a single g-code file that includes each of those so that I can build them all at once? I could do this in a different package a few years ago but I cannot find the method for doing the same in the PrusaSlicer software (2.2.0) for the i3 MK3S. Am I just not seeing it or is it not possible to merge print jobs of different settings? Thank you for any input you can offer.
You can add a height range modifier or other modifier over the entire of model 1, then add a layer height option, select the layer height you want to use. Then select model 2, add modifier, add layer height option, rinse and repeat for all the models you want.
Anyways, regardless if you check the 'complete individual objects' or not, all the settings work for printing parts on the build plate. The 'complete individual objects' just allows you to print one part, then the hotend moves over and prints the second part (That is why if you choose this setting, you must make sure you arrange your parts properly on the build plate, otherwise the hotend may collide with your previously printed parts. Prusaslicer has built-in detection that seems to work pretty well as long as you have not modified your hotend.)
I prepared everything (set filaments, printer profile, added my own models to the plate) and then I wanted to start adding the downloaded models from Makerworld. Every model I opened from Makerworld, completely reset my print parameters and chosen filaments (I could not get the model to open in a new window, it always forced me to close my current project and open the one I downloaded)
Methods: Digital reference models were printed 5 times using stereolithography apparatus (SLA), digital light processing (DLP), fused filament fabrication (FFF), and the PolyJet technique. The 3D printed models were scanned and evaluated for tooth, arch, and occlusion measurements. Precision and trueness were analyzed with root mean squares (RMS) for the differences in each measurement. Differences in measurement variables among the 3D printing techniques were analyzed by 1-way analysis of variance (α = 0.05).
Conclusions: The 3D printing techniques showed significant differences in precision of all measurements and in trueness of tooth and arch measurements. The PolyJet and DLP techniques were more precise than the FFF and SLA techniques, with the PolyJet technique having the highest accuracy.
Model Resin was developed to meet the precision, reliability, and throughput requirements of restorative dentistry. Print accurate models and dies with crisp margins and contacts, delivering high-quality results on fast-paced timelines.
Printing models vertically requires the addition of support structures. To generate these structures, open the Supports tool (see 1) on the left side of PreForm and click the Auto-Generate Selected or Auto-Generate All button (see 2).
Tip: For even stronger Draft V2 models you can set the temperature to 60 C. Models 3D printed in Draft V2 Resin were fully tested and validated in making dental appliances with or without temperature during post-curing.

The treatment of complex fractures using the 3D printing approach reduced the frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy, blood loss volume, and operative time, but did not improve postoperative function compared with routine treatment. The patients wanted the doctor to use the 3D model to describe the condition and introduce the operative plan because it facilitated their understanding. The orthopaedic surgeons thought that the 3D model was useful for communication with patients, but were much less satisfied with its use in preoperative planning.
Our study revealed that 3D printing models effectively help the doctors plan and perform the operation and provide more effective communication between doctors and patients, but can not improve postoperative function compared with routine treatment.
Our aim was to use 3D printing models to reconstruct the distal radius fractures in patients and evaluate its efficacy in the surgical outcomes for the fracture repair and in the communication between doctors and patients. We assumed that 3D printing models effectively help the doctors plan the operation and surgical outcomes, and provide more effective communication between doctors and patients.
3D printing technology is developing rapidly in the field of orthopaedic surgery, and some scholars have published on its applications [17,18,19,20,21,22]. They maintain that 3D printing models can make diagnosis and surgery more directly visible, realistic, and specific by assisting in the clinical diagnosis, aiding the planning of complex operation strategies, and allowing simulation of the operation, rendering the use of this method in orthopaedic surgery feasible and accessible. Because 3D printing can be used to produce an individualised, realised solid prototype of a fracture before complex surgery, junior surgeons can observe the anatomical structure of the fracture and simulate the surgical operation to determine the size of the implant required for internal fixation.
Patient-specific 3D models are being used increasingly in medicine for many applications including surgical planning, procedure rehearsal, trainee education, and patient education. To date, experiences on the use of 3D models to facilitate patient understanding of their disease and surgical plan are limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate in the context of renal and prostate cancer the impact of using 3D printed and augmented reality models for patient education.
All types of patient-specific 3D models were reported to be valuable for patient education. Out of the three advanced imaging methods, the 3D printed models helped patients to have the greatest understanding of their anatomy, disease, tumor characteristics, and surgical procedure.
While these small studies above support the added benefit of 3D models, the role that 3D models can play in shared decision making is yet to be defined. We believe that in addition to 3D printed models, advanced visualization of medical images in 3D formats such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), or 3D computer models might also help to overcome the limitations of consultations performed with 2D images. All types of 3D models could be referred to during the consultation and could be used to describe the anatomy, disease, and treatment options allowing for improved levels of patient understanding of anatomy and disease, as well as facilitate better patient decisions regarding the treatment plan. The aim of this study was two-fold: (1) to prospectively evaluate, in a large cohort of patients, the usefulness of patient-specific 3D urologic oncology (kidney and prostate cancer) models for patient education and (2) to compare the usefulness of different types of 3D models in patient education.
