Creating screw threads with a 45-degree overhang using 3D printing technology presents several design and manufacturing challenges that can compromise print quality. One primary issue is the resolution and accuracy required to replicate precise screw thread dimensions, including flank angles and lead pitch, in all axes within an overhanging region. Using 3D modeling software or slicing programs with built-in threading capabilities is crucial when creating 3D printable objects featuring screws or other threaded components. Some software also offers customizable thread features, such as varying pitch, leading thread diameter size and more, helping engineers optimize design parameters. During the printing process, maintaining layer thickness uniformity throughout the print is important to ensure high-fidelity representation of these precision screw threads and to avoid layer-to-layer mismatch that can result in dimensional inaccuracies.
