![]() ![]() For such an orientation, the entire bottle is prone to failure. The highlighted part (yellowish-orange) shows the probable zones for print failure. This results in suction forces building up in the part which can separate the individual part layers and result in print failure. When the mouth of the bottle faces the resin tank, it results in air and resin entrapment. Cups are hollow volumes or cavities in a model. In the given orientation, what this will do is, it will result in the mouth of the bottle facing the resin tank, which will result in the formation of “Cups”. Thus, a bottle oriented upright in Preform will actually be fabricated upside down, as shown in the image below. But one should note that in Formlabs SLA, the actual part, during printing, will be oriented upside down with respect to the part orientation shown in the Preformsoftware. If you were to fabricate this bottle (shown below) in Formlabs SLA, how would you orient it?īasic understanding says that one would orient the bottle upright to minimize support structures. A bottle has an open end (mouth) and a closed end (base). Let more about part orienting in this article. In this article, we will cater to hollow models and cavities and in the process understand the nitty-gritties of part orientation and the impending implications if they aren’t oriented properly. In the previous articles we talked about the basic process architecture and methodology of Formlabs SLA, and Formlabs Part Orientation & How To Generate Support Structures for the same.
