3D printing infill: density, patterns, and necessity explained

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Infill refers to the internal structure created within 3D prints using FDM or FFF technology, which provides support and rigidity without requiring a solid plastic build. The density of this infill, expressed as a percentage, significantly impacts print time, material usage, and the final product's strength. While 0% infill can suffice for some decorative items, functional parts may require higher densities, with patterns like grid, cubic, gyroid, and lightning offering different structural benefits depending on the application.
