The simple solution for grouping models the right way: A grid containerįor Polyamide and Alumide the best option that will allow you to print multiple shells in one go is to place all of your parts into a container. The second reason behind this is that if users upload ‘grouped models’ there would be confusion in our production facility about which prints belong to which customer, as our system only tracks one file at a time. This is why we typically charge markups for every 3D print. For every 3D model that gets ordered, we need to look into the design, check it for printability, and finally clean, finish and quality check the print after the production process.
One of the reasons behind this are the fixed handling costs per model. Although there is nothing wrong with having more than one model in a file while designing, we cannot use these designs for 3D printing.įor example, users that upload the following design with six separate shells will get a notification that their order will be cancelled. Grouped models are two or more models that are saved within one 3D file.
Using a grid container will not only let you upload several 3D models at once but it will also help you to save money. In this blog post you will learn how to order so called ‘grouped models’ by putting them in a grid container.
