Frequently Asked Questions

What is 3D Printing?

3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, is manufacturing a component by adding materials to one another. Typically in 3D printing, materials are deposited onto one another, layer by layer, building up to a complete part.

How Do You Smooth 3D Printed Parts?

There are a variety of ways you can smooth 3D printed parts. At a very high level, engineers and manufacturers can smooth parts with fine sandpaper by sanding down the rough edges of a print. However, if sanding doesn’t work, you may need to look back at your 3D model in 3D CAD software and determine whether you can directly remove rough edges digitally.

Further, machines are designed explicitly for smoothing parts and creating incredible surface finishes. Specifically, AMT Digital Post-Production Hardware Systems process printed parts and create unparalleled smoothness and surface finishes.

What is Infill in 3D Printing?

One of the most significant advantages of 3D printing is that we don’t always have to create fully-solid parts like traditional manufacturing. Infill is the term we use to describe the hollow material structure inside a 3D printed part – think of this as a lattice structure. This structure, or infill, is much lighter and does not sacrifice strength.

How Long Does a 3D Printer Take to Print?

The time a print takes depends on the printer’s technology and print’s size. For example, some printers can finish a print in minutes, and others can print the same object in days.

How Do You Know Which 3D Printer to Choose?

You are not alone if you have difficulty determining what 3D printer is best for you. The best thing you can do to figure out what printer is best for you is to ask questions, and TPM is here to help you. TPM takes pride in answering all questions related to 3D printing, no matter how basic or complex the question is. If you have a question, request a quote for a 3D printer, and our knowledgeable team will guide you in the selection process.

What's the Process for Starting 3D Printing?

If you’re interested in learning how to start 3D printing, TPM is a great place to start. The traditional 3D printing process requires CAD software, slicing software, and a 3D printer. TPM is unique in that we provide all three solutions and educate users on how to leverage them in their additive manufacturing processes.
