To ensure the best performance and quality of your Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printed parts, following certain design guidelines is crucial. These guidelines improve accuracy, reduce printing time, and help optimize the material usage, ensuring that parts are functional and reliable for both prototypes and end-use production. Below are some key design considerations.
| Parameter | Guideline |
| Minimum Wall Thickness | Metals: 0.3-1.0 mm, Plastics: 1.2-1.5 mm. Thin walls can cause issues with stability, vibration, and machining quality. |
| Feature Spacing | Maintain a minimum spacing of 0.5 mm between features to ensure material flow and prevent bonding or warping during printing. |
| Hole Diameter Recommendations | Minimum hole diameter: 0.020” (0.50 mm). Precision bore sizes improve tolerance accuracy and chip evacuation. |
| Uniform Thickness Guidelines | Maintain consistent wall thickness across the part to prevent warping and ensure uniform material distribution during printing. |
| Orientation for Accuracy | Part orientation affects part strength and quality. Position parts to minimize supports and maximize strength in the right direction. |
| Avoid Overhangs and Supports | Minimize overhangs and unsupported features to reduce the need for support structures and to avoid warping or failure. |
| Text & Engraving Recommendations | For text, use a minimum of 0.6 mm width and 0.1 mm depth to ensure legibility and avoid weak or thin structures. |
| Undercuts & Complex Geometries | Design parts with supported profiles (square, full radius, or dovetail). Avoid deep, complex geometries unless necessary. |
| Material Efficiency | Use hollow sections, ribs, or gussets instead of solid material to reduce weight and cost without compromising strength. |
