The formula to calculate the Print Time (PT) is:
\[ PT = \frac{MV}{PS} \]
Where:
Let's say the model volume (\( MV \)) is 500 cm³, and the print speed (\( PS \)) is 50 mm/s. Using the formula:
\[ PT = \frac{500}{50} \]
We get:
\[ PT = \frac{500}{50} = 10 \text{ hours} \]
So, the Print Time (\( PT \)) is 10 hours.
Print time refers to the duration it takes to complete a 3D print. It is an important aspect to consider when planning the use of a 3D printer, as it affects the throughput and efficiency of printing operations. Accurate estimation of print time helps in scheduling prints and managing expectations for project completion.
