Anchor Points Anchor points refer to specific features added to a 3D model to improve adhesion to the build plate or enhance stability during the printing process. These points are particularly useful for prints with small bases or tall, narrow designs that are prone to tipping or warping. Anchor points can be designed manually in CAD software or generated automatically by slicer software in the form of brims, rafts, or custom supports. By increasing the surface area in contact with the build plate, anchor points help ensure the print remains stable throughout the process, reducing the risk of failure. |
