Layer Resolution Layer resolution refers to the vertical precision of a 3D printer, defined by the minimum layer height it can achieve. A lower layer height, such as 50 microns (0.05 mm), results in smoother surfaces and finer details, while higher layer heights, such as 300 microns (0.3 mm), print faster but with more visible layer lines. Layer resolution is determined by nozzle size, extruder precision, and the printer’s mechanical accuracy. Choosing the right layer resolution depends on the intended application—high resolution is ideal for intricate models, while low resolution suits rapid prototyping. |
