Hello! Yes, for AlSi10Mg aluminum, the minimum wall thickness we recommend is 0.4 mm, with support structures. Without a support structure, then we recommend a thickness of 0.5 mm to maintain the structural integrity of the part. However, this can vary depending on the machine and the specific printing conditions.

Hello everyone! Does anyone know what is the minimum wall thickness for printing a 3D part in AlSi10Mg aluminum?

Is 0.4 mm or 0.5 mm sufficient for all applications?

It’s sufficient to maintain structural integrity under normal conditions. But if your piece is intended for applications where it will be subjected to high mechanical stresses, I would recommend increasing the wall thickness to reinforce the robustness, for example to 1 mm or more, depending on your specific needs.
