Printing solid model without hollowing it out

#1

Good morning,

I have just ordered a model which I plan to use as an imaging phantom and would like to have confirmation that it will be printed solid without being hollowed out.

Model was uploaded solid, so I would just like the confirmation that it won’t be hollowed out prior to print.
Order number was IMC189015.

Thank you.
Bruno.

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for reaching out to us here. Actually thick models like yours are normally hollowed. Please get more insight on this from the design guide page of the material here.

You may reach out to us regarding orders matters directly via this form.

Hi Ivan,

Yes I am familiar with design guide and was making a model following it. I have not hollowed out the model as we need it solid. I thought if you receive solid model you will print it out like that.
As the model will be used as imaging phantom it needs to be completely solid within.

I have reached out to you via form. Can you print it solid?

All the best,
Bruno.
