Orientation Optimization Orientation optimization is the strategic alignment of a 3D model on the print bed to enhance strength, surface finish, and print efficiency. It reduces support requirements, minimizes overhangs, and improves layer adhesion. Optimal orientation also affects mechanical properties, with vertical alignment enhancing tensile strength along layer lines. Advanced slicing software provides automatic orientation suggestions based on geometry, weight distribution, and cooling requirements. Proper orientation optimization reduces post-processing, material usage, and print time, ensuring high-quality results. |
