Add 3D printer materials with infill calculations

Add 3D printer materials with infill calculations

It would be useful to have a material category to describe a 3D printer filament. Properties would include wall thickness, filament type, infill density, and infill type. The mechanical properties would reflect the way a 3D printer creates a smooth shell of a part with lightweight but weaker core structure. Doing this would allow users to run stress analysis on 3D printed parts and to iterate their designs until they are idealized for 3D printing.

It would be great if you include a feature like this!

Yes we seriously need this. It's not easy to add webbing to complex objects that were meant to be 3d printed.
