How to reduce 3D print build time with Stratasys Insight Part 2

▤ Summary

As a result the machine prints an exterior wall contour and fills the narrow space between with a raster infill. The geometry restricts the printer’s speed by causing the rasters to be short, frequently change direction, resulting in increasing the build time. If these rasters can be avoided and replaced with continuous wall contours the build time often decreases by an appreciable amount, and reduces wear on the machine. In the toolpath parameter window the check box for “variable width remnant fill” can be found on the bottom left. This resulted in production capacity doubling, allowing CATI to donate more face shields to local first responders, hospitals, and other organizations.
