The video provides a comprehensive guide to designing for additive manufacturing, focusing on optimising models for 3D printing. It explains key principles such as the 45-degree rule and YHT rule to minimise support material, improve build plate adhesion, and enhance print quality. Practical examples include redesigning cooling channels and face shields for NHS workers, highlighting how chamfers and teardrop shapes improve efficiency. The session also covers slicing software settings, infill strategies, and wall thickness adjustments for durability. Advanced topics include reinforcing parts with continuous fibres using Markforged printers and design considerations for strength, cost reduction, and streamlined post-processing.
