3D Printed Prototypes & Friction

Friction is defined as the force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion of two surfaces in contact. The friction coefficient of a prototype’s surface is a functional component, not an aesthetic one, and simulates the end product’s mechanical properties. A well–designed prototype that takes friction into consideration can have the following advantages: an improved grip for the end user, reduced part wear, simulated movement functionality and sliding abilities.

Tips For Dynamic Friction Coefficient In Prototypes

1. Separate STL Files

Save your design in separate STL files according to the different parts. This is recommended for flexible areas, as well as for rigid parts. Later the parts can be printed in different color tones to visually separate areas of the model.

2. Relevant Shore Value

Label each part with its relevant shore value. Labeling will help you later easily determine which shore values received the highest score in your evaluation criteria tests.

3. Design

Design you model in such a manner to enable the mounting of flexible parts on your full assembly of rigid and flexible parts. You can then use the Connex ability to print up to nine different materials in one build process and then assemble each part on the model for evaluation.

4. Coating

Coating: Use the Objet Studio software to coat parts with various thicknesses from 0.3-3mm with one mouse click. You may use any one of the different Digital Materials as the coating material.
