In general, 3D modeling is to build a virtual three-dimensional space into a model with three-dimensional data through three-dimensional production software.

What is a slice? Slicing is actually cutting your 3D model into pieces, designing the print path (fill density, angle, shell, etc.) and storing the sliced file in .gcode format. A 3D printer can read directly and The file format used. Then, through the 3D printer control software, the .gcode file is sent to the printer and controls the parameters of the 3D printer, and the motion is finished to print. Its role is to communicate with the 3D printer.

Start the 3D printer, pass the STL format model slice to the3D printer through the data line, SD card, etc. At the same time, load the 3D printing material, debug the printing platform, set the printing parameters, and then the printer starts working, the material It will be printed layer by layer, the layer is glued by special glue, and the pattern is fixed according to the cross section. The last layer is superimposed, just like building a house, the brick is a layer. One layer, but after accumulating, it becomes a three-dimensional house. Finally, through layered printing, layer bonding, layer by layer, a complete item will appear in front of us.

After the 3D printer finishes working, take out the object and do post processing. For example, when printing some suspended structures, you need to have a supporting structure to top up, and then you can print the upper part of the hanging. Therefore, for this part of the redundant support needs to be removed and post-processed.
