Print settings for additive manufacturing

A print setting is a collection of parameters associated with an additive machine and is specific to the bulk, raw material used in the additive manufacturing process. A print setting influences how an additive toolpath gets generated. The list of parameters in a print setting depends on the additive capability of the associated machine. For FFF, common parameters include layer height, extrusion width, and infill pattern.

Example of the Print Setting Library showing print settings for machines with additive FFF capabilities.

A print setting contains two groups of parameters: general parameters and body presets. General parameters apply across all bodies on the print bed or build platform. While body presets can be adjusted for different bodies.
