Simulating builds for additive manufacturing

The Simulate Additive Toolpath simulate additive toolpath icon tool lets you visualize the manufacture of an additive part, animating the build process layer by layer. Simulating gives you the ability to see the different structures of a part, such as infills and supports, and verify that the build is as expected before you post process the toolpath or export the toolpath as a 3MF file.

Note: You must generate an additive toolpath before you can simulate it.

Note: This feature is available only when you select a machine with additive FFF, MPBF, or DED capabilities.
