Adaptive Supports Adaptive supports are dynamic support structures generated by slicer software based on the specific geometry of a 3D model. Unlike traditional uniform supports, adaptive supports adjust their density, size, and placement to provide optimal support only where needed. This reduces material usage, shortens print time, and simplifies post-processing, as there is less support material to remove. Adaptive supports are particularly useful for intricate models with overhangs or internal cavities, where traditional supports might be excessive or difficult to remove. By using adaptive supports, users can achieve better print quality and efficiency while maintaining structural integrity. |
