<\/p>\nWhy should you hollow your prints?<\/h2>\n
Indeed, it does not only affect the cost and weight, but also the quality.<\/p>\n
- \n
- This process is a good way to save material and less material means a clear reduction of the 3D printing cost of your part.<\/li>\n
- It is also a good way to get a lightweight part! Hollowing is a really easy way to make your 3D parts lighter.<\/li>\n
- As a hollowed model consists of less material, less heat is generated during the printing process. And less heat leads to a more stable process and reduces the potential risk of deformations in the printed objects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A few rules and tips you need to know<\/h2>\n
- \n
- All the 3D design software allows you to hollow the model, and there are even some tools specifically meant for this purpose.<\/li>\n
- A simple way to use these tools in order to hollow out your model is to select one of its surfaces and extrude it inwards<\/li>\n
- You need at least two holes in your 3D model in order to remove the excess powder trapped inside your part during the cleaning process.<\/li>\n
- If you hollow your part manually, you should ensure that the holes are at least 5 mm in diameter, or it will be hard for us to remove the powders.<\/li>\n
- Place the holes on surfaces that will not be visible, such as at the bottom of the 3D models.<\/li>\n
- There should be quite some distance between the two (or more) holes, letting the powder circulate inside the part.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\nCan all 3D models be hollowed?<\/h2>\n
It depends on its size. If your objects are too thin or too small, they cannot be hollowed.<\/p>\n
These two types of objects require ample materials and have no excess powders. Besides, they are too fragile and vulnerable to be hollowed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
