Supports for SLA printers

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am considering investing in an SLA printer, as the print quality is much better than FDM.  Does Meshmixer generate appropriate supports for this type of printing - I have not found guidance in the documentation?  Are there specific settings for resins to allow for the inversion and characteristics of the bath?  Are there any other issues with SLA model preparation in Meshmixer?

Many thanks,

VJM

Guess you could use "Autodesk Ember" (DLP) presets as an orientation to get proper supports.

Thank you for your response - I suspect that you are right and that the software will automatically allow for the differences in the different types of lithography.  Certainly the Moai website implies this; I should have tested more fully.  I will do some tests tomorrow and, if successful, I will close this out.  Probably making a mountain out of a molehill, but I have no experience with SLA...
