Wall thickness

The 3D Printing Service Bureaus offer a lot of perks with top-notch quality. Their services are, as expected, more expensive than a print from a desktop FFF/FDM printer. Part of the cost is determined by the amount of material you use. This could be expensive, particularly in the case of pricey cast metals such as platinum or gold. As you design for one of the Service Bureaus, you'll likely want to minimize the amount of material being used to keep your cost low. Suddenly the minimum wall thickness takes on a deeper meaning. To save cost, you may opt to make your object hollow. You may also opt to make your walls as thin as possible.
