Manufacturing
Designing for AM, in general, has its challenges. One challenge is ensuring that your designs will be measurable using X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT). Below, I briefly go over this and invite you to watch my presentation diving deeper into the subject.
An update for Ultimaker S-line printers, Firmware 6.5 helps to improve your 3D printing workflow, as we introduce more streamlined troubleshooting and error handling, and the ability to import material profiles from USB.
