How to Prepare Your Model for Printing
Learn how to optimize STL and STEP files, define correct wall thicknesses, and minimize support structures to avoid printing errors and reduce post-processing time.
Welcome to the technical hub of Choanaevo. We believe that a successful project begins with a deep understanding of the technology. Our guides are designed to bridge the gap between digital design and physical objects, ensuring maximum precision and material efficiency for every part we produce.
Learn how to optimize STL and STEP files, define correct wall thicknesses, and minimize support structures to avoid printing errors and reduce post-processing time.
A detailed comparison between PLA, PETG, ABS, and various resins. Discover which polymer is best for functional components and which is ideal for visual models.
Transparent insights into our pricing: see how volume, print time, material choice, and post-processing affect the final cost of your prototype.
When does it make economic sense to move from a single prototype to a small series? An analysis of time investment and manufacturing costs.
Our articles are structured so that both experienced engineers and beginners can quickly find the information they need. We recommend reading the model preparation guide before sending a request to shorten the lead time of your project.
If you have specific technical questions regarding your files that go beyond these general guides, we are available for individual consultations to ensure your design is print-ready.
Step 1: Select a topic from the database.
Step 2: Verify your model according to the technical guidelines.
Step 3: Send your request with optimized files.
