What is Filling in 3D Printing and Is It Really Necessary?

The secret of success in 3D printing technology is to decide how much material will use. Here is the dolgu (infill). Accurate filling settings determine the durability, weight and production time of your printed object. The wrong settings may mean a failed project.

Filling settings affect the following points:

-Mechanical durability: Intense filling rate (80%-100), while creating more robust and durable parts, low proportions can give brittle results. -Production time: Reduce the filler percentage, significantly shorten the printing time and save material.

• Nesne weight: While low filler is ideal for light parts, the components under high voltage may require full filler.
• Material cost: The filament usage increases the production cost of the work as it increases.

The filling rate between 15%-20 for most 3D printing project provides an ideal balance. Aesthetic-purpose models can be successful with low filling of toys or decoration objects. But functional parts require higher filling rate of objects that will bear load components or mechanical force.

The filler geometry is also important. Different structures, durability and material usage such as grills, pads or mesh patterns offer different balances. When you understand the purpose of your project, you can determine the most appropriate filling adjustment.
