What is bleed correction?

0

Due to the nature of 3D Printing the outer surface bleeds slightly in some cases adding as much as 0.2mm thickness to the part. Bleed correction compensates for this effect. We suggest using bleed correction if you are dealing with mating components. However, on thin walled parts bleed correction may not be desirable as it will result in a more fragile component.
