Technologies like FDM and SLA utilise support structures while others don\u2019t. Engineering features like wall thickness, holes and tolerance limits should also be designed differently for different technologies. Designing for 3D printing is not a tough task as long as you know the rules. They help in improving the efficiency of printing as well as reducing costs. Xometry Europe offers 7 different types of additive manufacturing processes and this guide provides an overview of design rules with respect to each 3D printing technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><div class=\"wp-block-image__wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1018\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EN-Design-rules-for-3d-printing.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EN-Design-rules-for-3d-printing.webp 1440w, https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EN-Design-rules-for-3d-printing-300x212.webp 300w, https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EN-Design-rules-for-3d-printing-1024x724.webp 1024w, https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EN-Design-rules-for-3d-printing-768x543.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><a class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EN-Design-rules-for-3d-printing.webp\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-19393\" data-caption=\"\" aria-label=\"Open full image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EN-Design-rules-for-3d-printing.webp\" class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><svg class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 18\" fill=\"none\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n               <path d=\"M0 2V6H2V2H6V0H2C0.895 0 0 0.895 0 2ZM2 12H0V16C0 17.105 0.895 18 2 18H6V16H2V12ZM16 16H12V18H16C17.105 18 18 17.105 18 16V12H16V16ZM16 0H12V2H16V6H18V2C18 0.895 17.105 0 16 0Z\" fill=\"#092C47\"\/>\r\n             <\/svg><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19406,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[],"c-tag-articles":[],"global-tag":[468,699],"class_list":["post-19393","articles","type-articles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","global-tag-3d-printing-eu","global-tag-design-eu"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/19393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articles"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/19393\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19393"},{"taxonomy":"c-tag-articles","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/c-tag-articles?post=19393"},{"taxonomy":"global-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.xometry.pro\/en-eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/global-tag?post=19393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
