"printing direction" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it to refer to the direction a printer is set up to print in, such as "Changing the printing direction from portrait to landscape solves most issues with printing this document."
Among the processing parameters of additive manufacturing, printing direction is of critical importance.
While studies on effects of printing direction have so far mainly focused on mechanical properties of solid specimens, the present research is intended to demonstrate printing direction dependence of mechanical behavior of additively manufactured 3D preforms and their composites.
Influence of printing direction on the anisotropic behavior of 3D printed polymer is investigated by applying the proposed test method to specimens printed in two different directions.
As the picture shown in Fig. 1(b), the prism samples are of corrugate surfaces and the layers are perpendicular to printing direction.
3D-printing yielded samples with very high fiber orientation in the printing direction (up to 91.5%), whereas, compression molding process yielded samples with significantly lower fiber orientation.
Because the fiber fillers align along the printing direction, their local orientation can be exquisitely controlled.
Here's another simple solution or shortcut if you're printing directions, for example.
Please note: the audio files may disagree slightly from the printed directions.
That's because Web-based instructions — often designed by hobbyists for other hobbyists — are now supplementing the often-confounding printed directions that come with such kits.
We are given our bikes, 24-speed custom-made Cannondales with front and rear shocks, lovely features for which your southern hemispheres will express the deepest gratitude.¹ Each morning the guides gave us detailed printed directions for the day, which we put inside a see-through plastic zippered envelope that scrolls through a loop atop your bike basket.
Average fibre diameters of printed constructs using different printing directions and their variability reveal particular differences.
