A small, sometimes cubic, object produced by way of additive manufacturing serves as a calibration device. This object permits evaluation of printer efficiency and materials properties. For instance, dimensional accuracy, floor end, and bridging capabilities may be evaluated utilizing this technique.
The usage of such an object is significant for making certain constant output from a 3D printer. It permits for identification and correction of points comparable to warping, stringing, or inaccurate layer adhesion. Traditionally, easy geometric shapes have been employed to troubleshoot manufacturing processes; this follow extends to the comparatively current area of additive manufacturing.
