Designing 3D models for printing requires taking into account unusual limitations with respect to what is done in the rendering or the animation industry. We tested 4 tools that have been developed to help designers check the printability of their models.
This guide is meant for beginners just starting with 3D modeling as well as for experienced designers interested in 3D printing.
