Custom Regions

Any rigid region, any flexible region. Properties you want, only where you want them. Design for function, not material.

Durable

Encapsulate rigid materials in super-tough TPU for unbreakable parts. 

​

Tactile

60 Shore A, with infill, feels like a rubber band. Incredible tactile feel, straight off the machine. Great for padding.

Finish

Solid support material (not scaffold) makes a smooth bottom finish. Automatic, clean tool changes.

Generate CAD file with all regions

• Option: use Diabase scanner to digitize footprint

• Define rigid and flexible regions, generate flat-bottom support

1.

Generate toolpaths (slice file)

• Use different process (and tool) for different regions

• Support cradle is a process, not auto-generated

2.

Run G-code file through Diabase Wizard to speed up print

• Preheats upcoming tools

• Combines tools within each layer

3.

Load compatible materials and print

• Certain combinations work better than others. TPU+PVA is good

• ABS works well inside TPU encapsulant
