Abstract
3D printing technology is rapidly evolving from small scale to large-scale industries because of the ease of achieving complex geometries with minimal time. Because none of the manufacturing processes is 100% efficient in the same way, the 3D printing process has a few drawbacks between the printing methodologies. In this study we focus on the effects of design errors on the final object. As we know majorly, we have two types of errors naked edges and non-manifold edges. These errors can occur in various ways during the design process. These design errors directly affect the printing layers, surface quality, and infill density of components. Naked edges directly affect the printing layers whereas non-manifold edges affect the infill and surface quality of the component. Because we have different slicing software’s each software has its own limits to read the design errors, but the effect of naked edges is the same in all slicing software’s and the effect of non-manifold edges is different for different software’s. Based on the type of design error, size of the error and position of the error we developed permanent and temporary solutions.
