Bridge Support Bridge support refers to the temporary structures generated during 3D printing to assist in creating bridges, which are horizontal spans of material printed between two points without direct support underneath. While bridging attempts to print mid-air, bridge supports can be added to prevent sagging or collapse, especially for long or wide bridges. These supports are typically removed during post-processing. Proper slicer settings, such as reduced print speed and increased cooling, can minimize the need for bridge supports, improving print efficiency and reducing material waste. |
