I click on the Supports section and press the Auto-Generate Selected button.

You can see that some skeleton parts are red, it's because software alerts me that I need to use supports. When I import file I saw that it would be print more than 27 hours, whooa! - I need something to do for reduce time. Aalto FabLab have two FormLabs printers and when I open software PreForm, I choose the printer.Īfter that Import. First of all - choose the right printer.My inspiration - Thingiverse "Human Skeleton" (by glendonwaldner).In order to slice it just press "Slice" button. In order to see how it's going to work in the 3D printer you can do a simulation. I click on the support part and select that would be second printing part and then I can add color. If I didn't use all its features - I tried my body print with one color, but support in other. For Support Placement I choose Touching Buildplate.
Really cool thing is that you just need click generate support and software do it.
As I want to print something with overhang I need to use support. A skirt is an outline surrounding the part to be printed. And for Build Plate Adhesion Type I select skirt. About infill settings - it specifies how much material you want to have in all areas inside. To profile I select Normal 0.15 mm, it would be OK for body printing. As my imported file is too big, I resize and rotate it, because I want to see my face when I print it, ha! To resize setting I will return, because size is what determines. Right printer and import my scanned file. I work with 3D printer "Ultimaker S3" which has a double nozzle system and Ultimaker Cura software. After that Export - Meshes and save it in. Not a big changes can see, but I also apply Fast mesh simplification. For fix big holes I go to Fix holes section and fix all holes which I can see in dialog box. Also I apply Mesh simplify and Smoothing, After that smaller holes are being filled. Next I want to fill the holes, for that I press Hole filling button. I specify what is the polygon count and press Apply. First I want to get rid of smaller objects over, for that open Small object filter settings and there Now, if I rotate object I can see a lot of holes (black areas), which I need fix in next steps. To do that - hit and hold CTRL on the keyboard and drag with the mouse area what I want delete. I want delete everything that is below approximately elbows level. In Eraser section I choose Rectangular selection for the selection mode. For example, erase all things that I don't need for printing. So, you need hide the original scan and show the real-time fusion. It looks a little bit noisy, but that's because actually I have two objects scanned, one is the original scan and the real-time fusion part. Now carefully and slowly move upwards to approximately the area that you want to capture as a scan, after that model (in this case - me) start spin around very slowly. But I also could tried my hand in scanning, because I scan student Russian. When you see that you can start scanning by pressing the play button or the record button on the interface. You need to find a ground plane and once the ground plane is found then the sensor and the software is going indicate it with blue grid. So the sensor towards the object that you want to scan. After that press the preview button on the sensor, some seconds to initialize the sensor and the first thing that you need to do is point the camera It's going to make it a much cleaner scan. Select the geometry and texture option, but in this case as I want to 3D print it, I need to select the geometry option only. If you want capture the texture of the object then you should Before you start scanning it makes sense to check settings. You can activate preview mode by pressing the play button on the scanner or the The green button on the scanner that means it's ready. In order to start scanning you have to press the scan button.
First of all open software Artec Studio 15 Professional.
