With 3D printing, it\u2019s now easier than ever to bring a concept to life. However, not every 3D printed object comes out as intended. To maximize your 3D printing success, there are certain CAD design principles that you should be aware of before starting your project. In this article, we\u2019ll discuss the essential CAD design principles for 3D printing success, including choosing the right 3D printer, part design, file type considerations, layer height and shell thickness, print orientation, supports and bridges, holes, fillets and chamfers, accuracy and tolerances, and infill settings."}
