What LunarWerx 3D Print is built for

LunarWerx 3D Print is made by the team that publishes this site. It is a set of browser tools for ironing settings, injection moulding checks and foam inserts. [4]

The ironing helper works out settings for your printer, material and finish and exports a ready 3MF file. [4] It makes a 9-pad or 16-pad test plate around your settings, and you mark each pad as worked or not. [4] You can click flat top surfaces, and the export adds a modifier part over each picked surface. [4]

The mould helper checks a part for injection moulding with 13 checks, shows shrinkage, pressure and weak-point maps, and builds the two mould halves; all numbers are estimates. [4] The foam tool lays parts out in a box and designs a 3D-printable foam tray and top pad that each part lifts straight out of. [4] The foam insert is split into pieces that each fit your printer's bed. [4] It also turns backwards faces in an STL file right side out and says how many it fixed. [4]
