Version 1.0 PartPro120 xP Operation Manual Rotating the models The orientation of models may impact the printing quality, successful rate and printing time. To ensure a successful print, you may need to rotate the models and add supports to overhangs based on the features of each model. Key consideration for orientation: Top-heavy structure may fall off the platform, and may require more supports to hold it on the platform.
Version 1.0 PartPro120 xP Operation Manual Adding supports automatically Support structure is required under overhangs. It prevents the falling for gravity and the deforming due to the peeling force during printing, and increases adhesion of the model to the platform. The software is able to analyze the features of the model and add support structure to where necessary. You may add or delete support structure based on the features of the print manually.
Version 1.0 PartPro120 xP Operation Manual Editing supports manually You can build the supports from scratch with the manual mode, or use it to adjust the supports generated in the Auto mode. In Auto Mode, all supports are in the same size at the contact points. However, the size of the contact can be set to different based on the features of the object. Larger contact may be required for heavy part. Smaller contact is good enough for holding lighter structure. Also it is easier for post-processing.
