If you are asking “Where Can I 3D Print Home Decors?” then you have come to the right place.

They all say that your home reflects your personality. Meaning, a dark living room and drab kitchen may give an impression that you are a no fun person.

That is why some people spend thousands of pesos just to achieve a look that will perfectly mirror who they were.

So personalized your rooms! But most of the time, people cannot find the perfect set pieces for their homes. It is really a struggle to pick the right vase or furniture, pushing people to resort to 3D printing as an alternative.

 

Why is 3D Printing Fabrication Perfect for Home Furniture?

There are a lot of reasons why you should consider 3D printing. Instead of buying stuff that does not strike you as appealing, why not create your own?

Here are three reasons why you should consider 3D printing:

Materials

3D printed items are made up of either two materials: ABS or PLA.

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a thermoplastic, well known in the molding industry. People use it in LEGO, electronic housings, and automotive bumper parts.

However, PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a biodegradable (under the right conditions) thermoplastic; it comes from renewable resources such as cornstarch or sugarcane. It is one of the most popular bioplastics, used for many applications ranging from plastic cups to medical implants.

These materials are durable. A glass or a porcelain decor is fragile, if it falls, it breaks. And if you have kids around, that is not really an ideal setting.

However, you can emulate a glass-like or porcelain-like material with 3D printing. Giving that nice and homey aesthetic that will give your house a feel-good vibe.

Furthermore, here is a table to help you get a better understanding of the two materials we use:

	ABS	PLA
Material	Thermoplastic	Biodegradable Thermoplastic
Print Temperature	210-230°F	190-210°F
Strength	High	Moderate-high
Flexibility	Very Low	Low
Smell	Sharp, acrid, toxic, burning plastic	Sweet, pleasant smell
Color	Various	Various
Ease of use	Moderate difficulty	Very easy to use and troubleshoot
Warping	Moderate	Low
Level of expertise needed	Moderate	Beginner
Price (per 1kg)	1,160.94 PHP	1,110.44 PHP

 

If you are considering 3D print furniture, PLA is ideal for 3D prints where aesthetics is a priority. It is because of its lower printing temperature. It is smoother to use and to print with, so therefore it is better suited for parts with fine details.

On the other hand, ABS is best suited for applications where strength, elasticity, and thermal stability are required.

 

Price

3D printing has grown in popularity in recent years, but many people are unsure how expensive or affordable it is. 

The average 3D printer costs around PHP 25,000, and a 1KG roll of filament costs 1,000 PHP, and lasts at least a month of regular printing or several months of occasional 3D printing. 

Other consumables, such as nozzles, belts, and PTFE tubing, are required, but they are relatively inexpensive.

3D printing is no longer a pricey or specialized hobby. The cost of 3D printing has dropped dramatically in the last decade as a result of new advances in additive manufacturing technology.

If you do not want to buy a 3D printer, you can always go to your local 3D printing company to have your furniture printed.

Getting a 3D printing provider is also a cost-effective way to get your project going. You will not spend a huge amount of pesos to buy filaments plus you will not spend a centavo on factors like electricity, maintenance cost, etc.

 

Personalization

We mentioned a while ago that 3D printing can help you customize your furniture and make it your own. That is not an understatement because it is true. You can really mold your own stuff with just a few clicks.

Custom made furniture allows you space for self-expression. Custom-made furniture is not only a high-quality option, but it’s also a great way to ensure that you get items that reflect your personal style. 

Every item you make will be a beautiful addition to the room. It’s also a great way to show off your personal style, interests, and design preferences.

You can easily make your own table or chair to match the theme of a room if you can’t find one that matches via 3D printing. Our designers are skilled at putting the right pieces together to help you create your own unique look. We’d love to help you get inspired and see your creative ideas take off.

But if you want to design it on your own, that is okay.

Here are beginner 3D software you should try to capture the idea you have in mind:

• Leopoly – The “easiest 3D design platform.” Leopoly is extremely simple to understand and use. Users can start with a ball of clay or other basic shapes then sculpt, paint, and emboss it to create complicated designs. This application is free to use.
• Artlantis – The fastest stand-alone 3D rendering and animation software for PC and Mac. Designed especially for architects, interior designers and other design professionals, it is a leader in preview window technology and radiosity, also known as global illumination.
• Blender – Free and open-source 3D creation suite. Well suited to individuals and small studios who benefit from its unified pipeline and responsive development process. 
• Daz Studio 3D – Daz Studio is a free-to-use 3D platform that allows for easy and intuitive customization using presets and smart modular content. The simple 3D figure customization, posing, and animation tool enables artists of all skill levels to create digital art using virtual people, animals, props, vehicles, accessories, and environments.
• ZBrush – ZBrush uses the same tools employed by film studios, game developers, toy/collectible makers, jewelry designers, automotive/aviation designers, illustrators, advertisers, scientists, and other artists. Its capabilities allow you to shape, texture, and paint virtual clay in a real-time environment with fast feedback using configurable brushes.
