The road from a finished design to a printable, castable file — in the order a production run actually happens. Each step has its own page.

Prepare

• RepairAutomatic mesh repair toward a watertight print.
• VerifyThe printability quick-check, per object.
• IdentifyEmboss an identifier on the piece.

Sprue

The feed system for casting. Eleven layouts, from a single feed to full trees:

• SingleOne feed onto one point.
• Inner treeA trunk through the rings, feeding inward.
• Inner branchesBranches feeding the inside faces.
• External treeA trunk beside the pieces, feeding outward faces.
• External framesFrames around the pieces from outside.
• TreeThe classic casting tree.
• Cluster treeA tree of clustered levels.
• CurveA sprue swept along your own curve.
• HelixCopies wound up a helical feed.
• SpiralCopies laid along a flat spiral.
• Multiple copiesAn array of copies, each with its feed.

Produce

• Size runThe same ring in every size, ready to cast.
• DecimatorLighter meshes, by target or by tolerance.

Conventions

Millimetres, 0 keeps the tool default (or your saved defaults), and every one of these mutates the document — wrap the run in a Transaction for one-step undo. Exporting the result as STL is DocumentApi.Stl.
