This feature brings at a glace an overall assessment with 4 levels:

  • Good: No design issues had been found.

  • Review: The part is likely manufacturable in this technology. However there are minor design issues that should be reviewed.

  • Warning: The part might be manufacturable in this technology. However there are major design issues that must be reviewed.

  • Redesign: The part is not manufacturable as is. It might be possible to redesign the part to make it fit.

...

  • Material Class: Indicates whether the technology can produce the configured material.

  • Maximum Size: Determines whether the model fits into the printer’s build chamber.

  • Support Structure: Determines areas of the 3D model that have a lot of  overhang which might need support, depending on the technology.

  • Wall Thickness: The thickness of the 3D model at every point of the surface. Thin areas can cause the model to break.

  • Holes: Determines cylindrical cavities in the 3D model, through or blind and with optionally shaped openings (countersunk, counterbored, …).

  • Aspect Ratio: Determines divisions of the extents of a 3D model. Used to identify long, thin shapes.
