Design Better Fillets for Mass Production 3D Printing

In this episode of Design for Mass Production 3D Printing, we focus on optimizing fillet design for mass production 3D printing. Fillets are a key design feature that can improve part quality and reliability in printing. But, they can create some challenges, especially at the first layer. A standard circular fillet leads to overhangs, requiring support or resulting in deformation. At Slant 3D, we try to avoid perfectly circular fillets at the base by designing custom fillets that curve slightly, reducing overhang issues and ensuring cleaner prints with a larger contact area. The overall aim is to achieve a balance between design appeal and practical printability, ensuring mass production viability without compromising on strength or aesthetics.
