Reduce Printing Costs
To help optimize the price of material used, the Wolfram Language provides utility functions such as ShellRegion to hollow out models.
In[1]:=
original =
ExampleData[{"Geometry3D", "Triceratops"}, "BoundaryMeshRegion"]Out[1]=
Hollow out the model.
In[2]:=
hollow = ShellRegion[original];
Show[hollow, BaseStyle -> Opacity[0.4]]Out[2]=
Saving more than half of the material and reducing printing costs.
In[3]:=
Volume[hollow]/Volume[original]Out[3]=
Print the model.
In[4]:=
Printout3D[hollow, "3DHubs", RegionSize -> 3]Out[4]=
