 Change model thickness intelligently [message #11314] Thu, 01 April 2010 12:20 UTC |

My model's wall thickness is below 3mm on some parts. How do I increase wall thickness only on those parts which are below? Using which tool?
If there is none, how do I generally increase wall thickness?
Best regards

Hello,
you should post a sample picture and state what programm you are using.
On some occasions, and depending on the material, even smaller details may print, but it is a risk. I have seen both cases: Sandstone figure with 2mm arms, and other material meeting the wall thickness requirements with broken parts.

I do not know of any automatic tools, your best bet is probably to use blender with the wall thickness script by Eric Finley :

E.g. in Blender, use Sculpt mode and the Layer tool.
