Print Time Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Print Time (PT) is:

\[ PT = \frac{MV}{PS} \]

Where:

\( MV \) is the model volume (cm³).
\( PS \) is the print speed (mm/s).

Example

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.

What is Print Time?

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.
