Test the dynamic friction coefficients in a single build process.
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.
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.
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.
Simulates your prototype’s mechanical properties with precise dynamic friction coefficients.
