Abstract

Recently, affordable 3d printers have become widely available for personal fabrication. However, the quality of printed outputs often varies aside from printer’s machine specifications. It depends on diverse situated factors such as printing materials, slicing algorithm, model layouts, and environment of the printer. In this paper, we examined the related works on popular 3D printing communities in order to find common terminology and to determine the limitations of such experiential evaluation. We suggested a series of the advanced test models and quantitative quality indexes that can be collectively executed and delivered in the community.
