Hello, there is no general answer here, so better to evaluate the concrete part.

We recommend a minimum wall thickness of 1-2mm for unsupported walls in FDM, but this depends also to the overall design.

Hello! what could be the optimal wall thickness for FDM 3d printing large-scale parts, considering material strength and without compromising structural integrity?

Hi Nikolaus, thank you for your reply! How is it in other 3D printing technologies? Do you have, probably a comparison about the different technologies and their wall thicknesses?
