A small, usually 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 could be evaluated utilizing this system.
Using such an object is important for guaranteeing constant output from a 3D printer. It permits for identification and correction of points resembling warping, stringing, or inaccurate layer adhesion. Traditionally, easy geometric shapes have been employed to troubleshoot manufacturing processes; this follow extends to the comparatively current discipline of additive manufacturing.
