Identify a Part Defect
7min
identify the defect that most closely resembles the defect on your part click on the link to read more about the defect see examples and learn how to recognize the defect review all troubleshooting options understand why the defect occurs and learn to prevent it part defects library print defects the following defects occur during printing blow out broken struts caping cracking bulk cracking medial axis cross section line cure through delamination detached from supports fanging filled holes on skin flashing fringing fruit skinning incomplete lattice layering looping over adhesion overcure pillowing projection error resin starvation shift lines elastomeric lattices shift lines rigid parts shrink line tears under adhesion under supported overhang vacuum line veining vertical channel vertical rib voids witness line warping print stress processing defects the following defects occur during processing broken struts chipping cracking bulk cracking excessive solvent cracking medial axis excess resin gouging sagging salt baked into part scratches and scuffs smokiness warping mass loss warping solvent print artifacts the following are not defects but rather optical effects that are an artifact of dls printing you can, however, influence their effect with print preparation cure through dls design guidelines orientation & supports overcure orientation & supports orientation & supports a few defects may fall into more than one category depending on the cause curated defect libraries click on a library name to view defects lines cracking bulk cracking excessive solvent cracking medial axis cross section line delamination layering orientation & supports orientation & supports scratches and scuffs shift lines rigid parts orientation & supports vacuum line veining vertical channel vertical rib witness line feature did not resolve properly blow out chipping cure through delamination detached from supports fanging filled holes on skin flashing gouging incomplete lattice layering looping overcure pillowing projection error resin starvation shift lines elastomer lattice under adhesion under supported overhang voids lattices broken struts delamination fanging filled holes on skin flashing fringing incomplete lattice layering looping resin starvation shift lines elastomer lattice under adhesion under supported overhang voids docid\ egeupfgjx2giihhazd6 0 warping docid\ bqzqfwai lhoa2hpice1x mass loss
