easier to see overhangs and place supports patch and fence tools patch tool the supports speeds up support creation by automatically supporting an area with just a few clicks it is useful for supporting larger areas of overhang that would take longer to support manually it is often useful to support your parts with this tool before manually adding supports fence tool supports are manually placed by the user and are best suited on linear overhangs or smaller areas fences provide stability while leaving smaller nubs than the default bars option review supports docid\ vubpoaitblm11am9 qj1p in printer ui docid\ oid4znztzyelttpvj984a course for more information orientation options there are 2 options for orienting bases for printing near horizontal no supports on cameo surface limits supports on intaglio edge minimizes support creation and support removal time minimizes print time fewer models per print near vertical no supports on intaglio surface requires more time creating and removing supports requires more finishing time to remove support nubs increase print time more models per print near horizontal oriented denturenear vertical oriented denture orient & support near horizontal initial orientation perform an initial orientation of both bases so that they are roughly parallel with the platform click on orient orient or shift + o shift + o in the main bar in the printer software in the lower right corner, turn on overhang detection overhang detection or v key v key set to 40 degrees to indicate areas that need support in red 3 orient each base so that the tissue facing surface is facing the platform 4\ adjust the bases so that the tooth sockets are mostly parallel with the platform mostly parallel with the platform parallel orientation 5 position the camera so you are looking straight down on the platfrom make sure that the posterior region of each base is facing the lower portion of the screen posterior region of each base is facing the lower portion of the screen top view of denture bases on platform final orientation now perform the final orientations because denture bases are organic surfaces with no well defined flat areas, we do not recommend using snap to platform maxillary base click on the maxillary base to select it enter 30 into the x axis field the posterior of the base should be touching the platform mandibular base click on the mandibular base to select it enter 15 into the x axis field the anterior of the base should be touching the platform supporting click support or shift + s support or shift + s in the dark gray

to go to the support editing interface using either auto support method will result in supports covering a large portion of the tissue facing surfaces supports covering a large portion of the tissue facing surfaces , which will use more resin and require more cleanup add fence supports fence supports are required to support the edges of mandibular and maxillary bases click on fences fences click a series of points series of points in an area of overhang to define the fence use overhang detection overhang detection to find areas that need support click esc key and then hold down e key to reposition points click generate generate to create the fence geometry this may take a few minutes repeat as needed supporting maxillary base fence supports support entire boundary of base with fence supports we recommend using a single, long fence for easier removal a sequence of 2 or more short fences is acceptable once the outer boundary of the maxillary base has been supported with fences, proceed to supporting the palette with bar supports boundary supported by fences supporting maxillary base palette support the palette with a field of bar supports to prevent deformation bar supports press overhang detection overhang detection to highlight the areas to focus on click on multiple add multiple add click in the palette area to create field of points field of points that will be contact points for bar supports bar supports are usually required only in the palette area place points within 3 6 mm of each other click generate generate to create the bar supports check the bar supports check the bar supports and move to supporting the mandibular base supporting palette with patch supporting mandibular base use fences to support the outer boundary of the base mandibular bases also require additional fences in the posterior areas to ensure proper fit support entire boundary of base boundary of base with fence supports we recommend using a single, long fence for easier removal a sequence of 2 or more short fences is acceptable create secondary lines of fences secondary lines of fences along the posterior region offset from outer fence by 2 4 mm examples of properly oriented and supported bases tissue facing surfaces facing platform supported above platform fences around part boundary bar supports on maxillary base palette maxillary base rotated 30 degrees with posterior tilted towards platform well supported maxillary base mandibular base rotated 15 degrees with anterior tilted towards platform well supported mandibular base orient & support near vertical orienting your denture base models vertically keeps the intaglio surface free of supports and allows more models to be fit on the build platform at the expense of increased printing time and additional time required to create supports and then remove them after printing well supported near vertical base initial orientation perform an initial orientation of both bases so that they are

because denture bases are organic surfaces with no well defined flat areas, we do not recommend using snap to platform it is much easier to enter values directly into the orient fields maxillary and

bases slicing slice thickness should stay at the standard (100 µ) setting standard (100 µ) setting reducing the slice thickness by choosing the fine (50 µ) or super fine (25 µ) settings will increase
