Support Structures
Welcome to Chapter 10. In this chapter, we will learn all about how to generate and slice support structures for fused filament fabrication (FFF), stereolithography (SLA), and digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing.
Most mainstream additive manufacturing technologies (except for binder jetting, selective laser sintering, and multi-axis deposition) require support structures to be generated and printed for sections of components that have large overhanging surfaces. In this chapter, we will highlight the bar and volume support structures, which can be used for both FFF and SLA/DLP 3D printing.
Almost everything we will learn in this chapter also applies to generating support structures for parts to be printed with
