Anti-Aliasing in 3D Printing
Stair-stepping on shallow surfaces has always been a limitation of FDM… until now! 💪 Anti-aliasing is a new FDM 3D printing technique I recently learned about. When applied, it almost eliminates the stair-stepping texture you see on all shallow top surfaces! Let me tell you how it works. All standard slicers typically print each layer Read more
