3D model description
The forearm is the part of the arm between the elbow and the wrist, and is composed of two main bones: the ulna and the radius. The ulna is the larger bone and is located on the inner side of the forearm, while the radius is the smaller bone and is located on the outer side of the forearm. These bones extend from the elbow to the wrist and form the wrist joint.
The hand is a complex bony structure and is composed of many small bones that articulate with each other to allow movement and function of the hand. The bones of the hand are divided into three sections: carpus, metacarpus, and phalanges.
The carpus consists of a group of eight small bones that form the wrist. The carpal bones articulate with the ulna and radius of the forearm to allow flexion, extension, and rotation of the wrist.
The metacarpus is the middle section of the hand and is made up of five long bones that connect the carpal bones to the phalanges of the fingers. Each of these bones is known as the metacarpal bone and are numbered one through five, starting with the thumb.
The phalanges are the bones that form the fingers of the hand and are connected to the metacarpal bones. Each finger has three phalanges, except for the thumb, which has only two.
Overall, the bony forearm and hand are complex structures that work together to enable hand function and movement. Knowledge of the anatomy of the hand and forearm is important in a variety of fields, such as medicine, physical therapy, and biomechanics.
3D printing settings
The printing parameters of a complex STL file may vary depending on the model itself, the type of 3D printer and the material used. However, there are some general parameters that can be useful to obtain a quality print.
Layer height: Layer height refers to the thickness of each layer of material that is deposited during printing. A thinner layer height will produce a smoother, more detailed surface, but will also increase print time. A typical layer height for a complex STL file may be 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm.
Print speed: Print speed refers to how quickly the 3D printer deposits the material during printing. A slower print speed may produce better print quality, but will also increase the print time. A typical print speed for a complex STL file may be 30 to 50 mm/s.
Print temperature: Print temperature refers to the temperature of the material used during printing. Each material has an optimum printing temperature and it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations. A typical print temperature for a complex STL file may be 200 to 220Β°C for PLA and 230 to 250Β°C for ABS.
Adhesion to the printing base: it is important that the model adheres firmly to the printing base to avoid deformation or displacement problems during printing. The type of impression base surface and the method of adhesion used (such as adhesive tape or hair glue) may vary depending on the material used.
Support: If the model has parts that protrude or are very thin, it may be necessary to use support during printing to prevent them from collapsing or warping. Support can be generated automatically in some 3D printing software programs, or can be added manually as needed.
