Object Orientation Object orientation is the alignment of a 3D model on the print bed, affecting surface quality, strength, and support requirements. Proper orientation minimizes overhangs, optimizes layer adhesion, and enhances structural integrity. Horizontal orientation improves surface finish, while vertical alignment maximizes strength along the layer lines. Advanced slicing software provides automatic orientation suggestions based on model geometry and print settings. Correct object orientation reduces print time, material waste, and post-processing requirements, ensuring high-quality prints. |
