(Reference Video：Skills on Supports)
Support structures enable the printing of models with steep overhangs and cantilevered
sections. The InventorⅡ 3D printer utilizes Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)
technology, which works on the additive manufacturing principle of heating and laying
down material layer by layer to create an object. Many sophisticated 3D print designs
require materials to be deposited on a layer where there was not a previous layer, or
the designs have steep angles which might cause undesired drooping during the print.
In these cases, support structures are needed to ensure objects integrity and print
quality.
