As you can tell, messing up a printed model can be costly, both in terms of time and money. Getting a model wrong for a video game simply means importing the model back to Blender, and editing it so that any errors are corrected, before sending it back to the game engine.īy contrast, a 3D printed model requires a significant amount of time to create, as well as cost for the materials used for printing. It is very easy to design a model for virtual purposes, but much harder for creating actual physical products. An example of such a limitation is the size of the model, as each 3D printer is capable of producing objects in a certain size range. 3D printers are limited in their capabilities and so as the designer of the object you need to ensure that the model falls within these limitations. The 3D print toolbox is designed primarily to identify geometry that is likely to cause issues with the printing process. What Is The 3D Print Toolbox Actually Designed To Do? This is perhaps the single most important add-on that you can use for 3D printing in Blender, but what exactly does it do and how can it help to construct printable 3D objects? To locate the toolbox, press the N key on the viewport to open the side panel, and select the print toolbox tab.

Blender is capable of creating 3D printable objects and then sending them to an application used for the 3D printing process. One of the fastest-growing industry subsets today is the field of 3D printing, the ability to design an object virtually and then construct that object as a single piece using specialized tools and software.
