5 ADVANCED USER FEATURES

5.1 ORIENTATION FOR SPEED

Parts oriented with their largest dimension along the y or “fast” axis (print heads direction of travel),

next longest along the x or “slow” axis (gantry direction of travel) and shortest dimension along the z-

axis will print the fastest.

Because speed is the most important feature for the majority of our customers, the software will

automatically position parts with the shortest dimension along the z-axis.

5.2 ORIENTATION FOR STRENGTH

In Section 1.1.2, How it Works, we explain that part features that lie in the x-y plane will be stronger

than those aligned along the z-axis. If a part has a particularly delicate feature, especially one

shaped like a thin rod, you might find aligning that feature in the x-y plane to be most successful.

5.3 ORIENTATION TO PREVENT WARPING

Very thin planar part features printed in starch-based powder may warp if they dry unevenly or are

excessively heated. (This problem will not occur with plaster-based powder). Thin, planar features

aligned along the z-axis will dry more evenly than those with thin planar features that lie flat along the

top of the build box. Also, be careful when drying parts with thin planar features in the drying oven.

We find that thoughtful positioning and limited drying time effectively control warping in starch-based

powder.
