What is 3D printer accuracy?

standards, this statement is inaccurate or irresponsible. What is 3D printing accuracy? It refers to the accuracy of comparing the printed object with the model, which is related to the layer thickness setting, positioning accuracy, and spot accuracy. It may also be related to the size of the printed model and the completion time of the model. Precision is also divided into precision and accuracy. There is no unified specification standard in our 3D printing industry. What we usually refer to as accuracy is the accuracy of comparing the printed item with the model. ​

3D printing creates parts by adding layers of materials and processing materials from one form to another to create printed parts. Variables may occur during processing, such as material shrinkage—compensations must be made during the printing process to ensure the accuracy of the final part. 3D printers using powder materials usually use adhesives and have minimal shrinkage and deformation during the printing process, so the accuracy of the finished product is often higher. Plastic 3D printing technology generally processes printing materials through heat, UV light, or a combination of both, which increases risk factors that affect accuracy.

Other factors that affect 3D printing accuracy include part size and geometry. Some 3D printers offer varying degrees of print preparation tools that can fine-tune accuracy for specific geometries. People often use layer height or layer thickness as the accuracy standard for 3D printers. This is inaccurate or irresponsible. It needs to be viewed comprehensively and let the results speak for themselves.

The accuracy of a 3D printer depends on the following factors:
1. Whether the walking system in the mechanical part is accurate and reasonable.
2. Whether the software control system is reasonable. ​
3. The chassis and base must not be shaking or loose. ​
4. Do not choose a soft-connected walking connection structure such as a belt or rack belt to ensure that it does not shake or position during operation.
5. The machine frame should be strong, preferably an industrially produced chassis.
6. Choose high-quality stepper motors and complete software technical support.
