In the process of 3D printing, Fuzzy Skin is a special model skin treatment mode that adds small random fluctuations to the outer wall of the model to give the printed object a strong texture. The setting of fuzzy skin can not only simulate special materials, but also increase friction for some tool models, and cover printed patterns and seams, making the model more beautiful.

Introduction-Fuzzy Skin

1.In the special mode column of other sections on the left, you can view the setting of Fuzzy Skin. As shown in the following figure, no fuzzy skin has been set for the teddy bear model by default.

Introduction-Fuzzy + Smooth Skin

In some cases, you may not need to generate a fuzzy skin for the entire model, but rather maintain smoothness in certain areas. At this point, you can use the modifier tool.


1.After repeating the above operation of adding a fuzzy skin, right-click on the model position and select "Add Modifier", and then select the modifier shape. For example, to maintain the smoothness of the position of the bear's nose, choose the spherical modifier.
