Achieving Micron-Level Tolerances: CAD Optimization for Sub-10µm 3D Printing




Achieve successful micro-scale 3D prints by optimizing tolerances, wall thickness, support strategies, microfluidic channels, and material selection in your CAD models from the start.

What Attendees will Learn

  1. Tolerance-driven design -- How to define resolution and tolerance constraints that translate directly from CAD intent to sub-10µm printed geometry.
  2. Geometry-aware fabrication -- Principles for engineering wall thickness, aspect ratios, and orientation to maintain structural fidelity at micron scale.
  3. Support-free design strategies -- Leveraging self-supporting geometries and build orientation to preserve feature integrity without post-processing trade-offs.
  4. Integrated material-process thinking -- Matching resin properties, shrinkage behavior, and export parameters to your application’s functional requirements.
