Layout and Support

On the Layout & Support page, all uploaded models will be processed with auto layout and added supports, and supports one-click slicing and sending to print.

Note

  • You can return to the File step after auto layout & support; if you add, duplicate, delete models, or modify application settings, you need to re-layout and add supports.
  • If you exit the current page after the layout & support process is complete, a pop-up reminder will appear; and when entering the Slicing page again, you can directly proceed with the incomplete slicing procedure by following the pop-up instruction.

Caution

  • During the auto layout & support process, any other operations are not supported and the process can not be cancelled.
  • If an error pop-up occurs during the auto layout & support process, please follow the prompts to open/download the AccuWare to continue the slicing process.
