    Ontwerp optimalisatie voor 3D printen, heel belangrijk! Op de foto kun je zien wat er kan gebeuren als een ontwerp niet aansluit op de materiaaleigenschappen: deze print in ABS is te veel kromgetrokken (eigenschap van ABS) waardoor de dunne, zwevende wand is losgekomen van de support. In dit geval niet rampzalig, maar de 'fit' van het onderdeel is nu niet meer optimaal. Lees hier onder meer over wat ontwerpen voor 3D printen, Design for Additive Manufacturing genoemd, precies inhoudt.
