A DFM checklist for 3D printed parts

Most prints fail or look worse than they should because of decisions made in CAD, not because of the printer.

Wall thickness, hole sizes, overhangs, and orientation account for the vast majority of issues. We have a short checklist we run every customer file through before quoting.

Get these right and your part will print first time, look better, and cost less.
