Glossary of 3D Printing Terms

Cooling Shroud A cooling shroud is a custom or factory-designed duct that directs airflow from a cooling fan onto specific areas of the print, such as overhangs, bridges, or small details. It improves cooling efficiency and ensures consistent airflow across the model. Cooling shrouds are particularly beneficial for materials like PLA, which require rapid cooling to maintain sharp details. Many printers come with built-in shrouds, but custom designs are often 3D-printed to enhance performance. Properly installed and maintained cooling shrouds contribute to higher-quality prints by minimizing stringing, warping, and surface imperfections. |
