Daily Tip #109 You can determine the risk classification of your part in the FDA’s database here: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpcd/classification.cfm

Daily Tip #110 While generic PLA is generally recognized as safe (GRAS), additives, and manufacturing processes can affect its biocompatibility.

Daily Tip #111 If a manufacturer of a printing material doesn’t provide an MSDS for that material, you can still have the material tested at a lab, but it is safer to use materials that are ISO compliant, especially when used on people or in people.

Daily Tip # 112 ISO compliance varies with some specific applications: -5 Cytotoxicity -10 Sensitization and Irritation -11 Systemic Toxicity

Daily Tip #113 Check the MSDS from the manufacturer for specific mentions that the material is ISO compliant, especially when using for potentially dangerous applications.

Daily Tip #114 If you are having issues with your 3D file, sometimes it is quicker and easier start over.

Daily Tip #115 Materials may be skin safe or FDA approved, but the geometry (ie layer lines) may be an ideal environment for dirt and bacteria to accumulate.

Daily Tip #116 Sanding or polishing may fuse layer lines and prevent the accumulation of dirt and bacteria in a 3D print.

Daily Tip #117 Some resins can be dyed after printing, washing, and curing.

Daily Tip #118 When printing multiple parts, be carful of putting them too close together or using the same area on the bed too repetitively: the FEP will wear out prematurely.

Daily Tip #119 Some resins absorb heat better than others. This becomes important when printing multiple parts at one time.

Daily Tip #120 Required support geometry will vary by material: there isn’t a general thickness, length, penetration, or location. Test the material for optimal results and repeatability.

Daily Tip #121 ITAR (The International Traffic in Arms Regulations) has to do with manufacturing and traffic in arms. If you are manufacturing an armament of some kind, check their list to ensure that your product isn’t regulated.

Daily Tip #122 If you think your product might be subject to ITAR, you can review the munitions list here: https://www.pmddtc.state.gov/ddtc_public/ddtc_public?id=ddtc_kb_article_page&sys_id=24d528fddbfcf9ff621f

Daily Tip # 123 Having a large STL file is a good thing, especially if you want smooth geometry on curved surfaces. Smaller files aren’t as smooth, showing each individual surface that makes up the curve.

Daily Tip #124 For those manufacturing parts for Aerospace: look into AS .

Daily Tip #125 AS is a quality management standard for manufacturing parts for Aerospace, space, and defense. It was developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers.

Daily Tip #126 MED from Loctite has passed all 4 of the ISO tests.

Daily Tip #127 MED from Loctite can be sterilized for surgical use.

Daily Tip #128 MED from Loctite was tested to support up to 25 autoclave sterilization cycles while maintaining mechanical properties.

Daily Tip # 129 MED from Loctite is a tough yet flexible resin that can be used to make frames for glasses, adding custom options and shortening lead time for the end user.

Daily Tip # 130 IND 406 from Loctite is their “Toughest high-temp resin” having a heat deflection rating at greater than 100 degrees Celsius.

Daily Tip #131 Anti-aliasing can be used to smooth lines of 3D files before printing.

Daily Tip # 132 Solidworks has a maker’s license which only costs $40/year. It allows up to $ of design sales.

Daily Tip # 133 Solidworks can be used to create individual parts and assemblies.

Daily Tip #134 Solidworks is difficult and powerful, but YouTube has many tutorial videos. I recommend this series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lHEizPf-wY

Daily Tip #135 If you are selling designs made in solidworks, you’ll want a professional license.

Daily Tip #136 If you have material data, you can do simulations with your parts and assemblies in Solidworks.

Daily Tip #137 If you do simulations in Solidworks, you will need a powerful machine to process the data.

Daily Tip #144 By using the measuring tool in Blender, you can create accurate models. 

Daily Tip #145 The Boolean modifier is a powerful tool in blender. Use it to subtract or add geometry to an object using another object. 

Contact us to discuss your requirements of ResinTranslucent Curtain Wall. Our experienced sales team can help you identify the options that best suit your needs.

Daily Tip #146 You can use the same geometry over and over again to modify an object in blender. You only have to apply the Boolean modifier each time. You’ll also want to move the modifying geometry. 

Daily Tip #147 When exporting to an STL from blender, ensure you have the desired part selected and the “Include Selection Only” box checked. 

Daily Tip #148 If your Boolean modifier doesn’t work the first time in Blender, try checking the different boxes in the “Solver options”.

Daily Tip #149 If you want to shrink or enlarge a face on a rectangular prism in blender, you can draw a measurement line with the measurement tool, select the face (when in face mode), and hit “G” for grab and then drag the geometry where you need it.

Daily Tip #150 To select the entire object in blender, it is easiest to type “A”. Another way is using the wireframe viewport, then dragging the selection tool around the whole piece. 

Daily Tip # 151 In Blender it is good practice to duplicate objects before making changes to them. The original object serves as a good save point, especially when the changes don’t go so well.

Daily Tip #152 If you joined objects poorly in Blender, don’t worry, you can duplicate the object and apply a remesh modifier.

Daily Tip #153 Sometimes the object file gets too big, especially for 3D printing. In Blender, you can apply a decimate modifier to eliminate surfaces from the mesh. This is especially helpful after applying a remesh modifier. You do lose definition. That’s ok sometimes.

Daily Tip #154 When applying a decimate modifier, only decimate down to 10% at a time. If you do more, it could be too much for your Computer’s CPU and you may crash your computer.

Daily Tip #155  In Blender, you can apply the decimate modifier multiple times to eliminate undesired definition from your mesh. 

Daily Tip #156 If you want to do an extruded cut through and through in blender, it is easer to use the Boolean modifier with the desired shape as the negative space.

Daily Tip # 157 If you want to extrude partially through an object in Blender, use the extrude tool in edit mode. 

Daily Tip #158  In Blender, you can hit X, Y, or Z to lock to a particular axis when dragging an object, line, face, or vertex.

Daily Tip #159 In Blender, the decimate modifier should only be applied after modeling is done. Further modeling is difficult afterwards.

Daily Tip #160 We also do Large Format Printing. Our print volume is 42″ x 42″ x 48″ for our Atlas Titan and 10′ x 5′ x 7′  for our Kuka Caracol.

Daily Tip #161 Our Large format printer are FDM printers that use thermoplastic pellets as their print medium. The cost of the material is therefore very affordable.

Daily TIp #162 Our large format printers use time-tested, thermoplastic materials: ABS Carbon Fiber (CF), Polycarbonate CF, Polypropylene CF. 

Daily Tip#163 We are working toward printing in PETG on our Large Format FDM printers. 

Daily Tip#164 There are more than 20 different 3d processes. There are 7 categories of 3D printing: Vat Polymerization, Material Jetting, Binder Jetting, Powder Bed Fusion, Material Extrusion, Sheet Lamination, and Direction Energy Deposition.

Daily Tip #165 Our materials vary greatly: flexible, rigid, white, transparent, black, impact resistant, strong, water resistant, and heat resistant.

Daily Tip #166 The longer the print, the greater the cost. Print time is determined by two thing in MSLA LCD: Layer height and Z height. 

Daily Tip # 167 Lead time is affected by the complexity of the parts to be printed, the size of the part, post production required, and the material used. 

Daily Tip # 168 It is easier to clean up uncured resin than cured resin. Keep your printer in a dark or UV free area so that when your FEP fails, you don’t have to chip out cured resin.

Daily Tip #169: On-demand manufacturing reduces the need for large inventory storage. It’s cost-effective and ideal for short product life cycles.

Daily Tip #170: Skipping injection molding is viable especially if your part doesn’t require tens of thousands of units or has design complexity that molds can’t accommodate.

Daily Tip #171: Mass customization through 3D printing allows you to produce multiple variations of a product without changing tooling.

Daily Tip #172: 3D printing enables localized production, helping companies avoid international tariffs and shipping delays.

Daily Tip #173: When switching from injection molding to additive manufacturing, revisit part tolerances—3D printed parts may need looser tolerances due to shrinkage or resolution.

Daily Tip #174: Resin 3D printing is excellent for low-volume production where surface finish is critical.

Daily Tip #175: You can rapidly iterate designs using 3D printing—saving weeks or months compared to tooling iterations in molding.

Daily Tip #176: 3D printing can eliminate the long lead times required to create injection molds—especially for prototypes.
