Designing with UNIZ Dental in Mind
A model’s design directly influences how it prints. Understanding which features require support, the limitations of the build volume, and whether there is a risk of cupping leads to a higher print success rate.
Staying within the build volume
Parts that are too large to fit within the build volume can be scaled down within UNIZ Dental at the cost of dimensional accuracy. To change the size of model, select object model , then open Size dialog, and change size value.
To maintain dimensional accuracy, consider designing large parts in multiple sections that can be assembled after printing.
The maximum build volume for UNIZ Dental printers are:
- 7.5" × 4.7" × 7.1" (192 × 120 × 180 mm) for the NBEE.
- 7.5" × 4.7" × 7.1" (192 × 120 × 180 mm) for the SLASH 2 PLUS.
Overcoming challenges with hollow models
Printing a model as a hollow object conserves resin and decreases print time, but it can also be a functional requirement. The challenge a fully enclosed cavity presents, is that air becomes trapped while printing. The resulting suction cup may jam the printer’s motors and prevent the build platform from raising to continue to the next layer.
Design drainage holes in your model to allow air to escape and prevents a print failure.
Choosing units
UNIZ Dental supports both millimeters and inches as units of measurement.
UNIZ Dental use millimeters as the default unit of measurement. If your model appears too large after importing to UNIZ Dental, it's possible that the model's measurements in millimeters were converted into inches. To change the unit of measurement, select object model , then open Size dialog, and check ‘mm’ in Units item.
If your model appears too small after importing to UNIZ Dental, it's possible that the model's measurements in inches were converted into millimeters. To change the unit of measurement, select object model , then open Size dialog, and check ‘in’ in Units item.
