Stratasys Origin One 3D printing design guide

Design optimization 3D printing

In the last year, Stratasys released the all new Origin One 3D printer. This printer uses a Programmable Photopolymerization (P3) technology process and is capable of printing difficult geometries without supports, fine features, and large cross-sections, with excellent surface quality comparable to injection molding. However,…
