3D print figurines have inherent stability issues because they are made of different materials that are often moveable such as the arms and head of a doll. Disney research has come out with a white paper that provides a stability solution to these 3D prints through inserting weights to the product as it is being printed. Tom and Tracy talk how to address modeling the inside of the part and some of the complexities of creating stable 3D prints or even prints that are meant to sink if thrown in the pool.
