1 Equipment Introduction
3D printing technology is the technology that transforms 3D models into physical objects.
which is also the application technology of AD1 Ad words printer. Its working mode is to
supplies, and stack them layer by layer to form 3D articles.
Printing Steps
3D printing has three steps, which are acquiring model, processing model, and printing
Flashforge AD1 is 3D printing equipment for making luminous character shell and it can
FlashAD software is used on Flashforge advertising machine. It has three functions, i.e.
produce Ad words.
production of the luminous character shells are provided.
Steps for the production of Ad words:
1. Generate a 3D model;
2. Export the contour line;
4. Cut the acrylic sheet according to the contour line;
5. Assemble the model and acrylic sheet.
You can use the design software such as CorelDRAW to design the font or pattern and
upgrades.
