What is 3D Printing?

3D printing is an additive manufacturing process where materials are joined together to make objects from 3D model data (CAD). Typically, 3D printing is a layer-by-layer process where part geometries are “grown,” fusing with the previous layer. 3D printing processes can build objects in plastics, photopolymers, reaction polymers, composites, metal, glass, and other materials.


3D Printing General Tolerances

General Guidelines when Designing for 3D Printing
Description Tolerance Notes

Part Size

Xometry can accommodate 3D printing up to 24" x 36" x 36" without the need to split and bond parts.

Minimum Feature Size

0.030" - 0.060" is typical.

Minimum Wall Thickness

0.020" - 0.060" is typical.

Clearance Between Features

At least 0.030"

General tolerances apply before secondary finishing or post-processing unless otherwise specified. Please check out Xometry's Manufacturing Standards for more information on tolerances per process.
