Is there a way to select specific regions to support?


#1

In some other slicing softwares I’ve used, I am able to select which regions I want to support with automatic supports. Is there a means of doing the same thing in Formware? Thanks.

hi,

not yet. Currently it’s:
detection of critical surfaces/edges -> generated supports -> freedom to edit those critical surfaces/edges.

But we’re working on it for the next update to revise the support generation and expand it;

  • more flexible profiles to save your auto support settings
  • better lattice scaffoldings
  • skeleton supports
  • adding supports based on selected region only would be a good idea; yes. (heard it before some times)
