We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

      In order to enhance Additive Print response time for plotting large models, we reduce the number of triangles displayed. This sometimes causes the supports to appear incomplete. For parts, it’s typically not noticeable. It’s just a visualization issue. The original STL file is used to create the support voxels during simulation. User can double-check this by opening the voxel file and confirming that there are voxels everywhere that there are supports, even if they’re not being displayed in the AP GUI. User can also confirm the variations due to support thickness by looking at the voxel density when using subvoxel sampling.
