interface with your parts on the platform orientation and supports orientation and supports for db 4000 utilizes the posterior at platform orientation strategy orientation also used automatically by app orient lower and upper dentures bases goal 60° 80° tilt intaglio surface faces platform posterior touches platform lower and upper denture bases orientation angle click on orient shift + o in the top bar in the printer interface orient tab in top bar click minimize footprint button this will orient the base roughly perpendicular to the platform minimize footprint manually lay the denture flat the intaglio surface (tissue side) should face the platform click on the denture to select it hover over the axis loop seen while looking at the front of the denture the \ green \ y axis in this example click and hold on the axis loop and rotate until the denture is roughly parallel to the platform manually lay the denture flat 💡change views and adjust as needed until the denture is positioned adjusting the \ red \ x axis in this example from the side view hold shift while rotating to move in 45 degree increments tilt into position click on the denture to select it hover over the axis loop seen while looking at the side of the denture the \ \ x axis in this example click and hold on the axis loop and rotate to the specified angle so the posterior of the denture is touching the platform 70 ° rotation in this example supports no supports on intaglio surfaces set up ui for supports toggle platform off toggle platform off click toggle platform in the bottom bar b shortcut

default values manual fence supports place fence supports for the following denture base conditions where illustrated in the examples below denture base edges t bars manual fence workflow click a series of points along the edge of red areas to define the fence click esc key on keyboard to end a fence and begin another hold down the e key and click with the mouse to reposition points click generate all to create the fence geometry this may take a few minutes error support couldn't be added sometimes an error will occur when you try to generate a new fence if this happens, the points will turn \ pink \ and an error message will appear error fence points 💡try making multiple shorter fences or try adding the fence in a slightly different place support denture edges click along red

overhang detection tool adding fence supports on t bars support cameo surface the last area requiring supports will use the patch support tool to fill the area with fence supports the lingual cameo surface is typically a large overhang that requires dense supports this is required for lower dentures patch supports workflow while in the supports menu, click the manual tab and select patch click in the large overhang on the cameo surface a green patch will appear under support attributes click primary support type and select bar in the spacing box, type 3 5 mm scroll down to the bottom of the
