Does this MJF printing need support?

#1

Hello. I’m brand new to 3d printing. I designed this piece to be printed from the bottom up using what I believe is called “FDM”; however, I thought I read that the “MJF” printing process does not require overhang supports. Did I read that correctly? mjf support question 1

If so, by using MJF, can I add these two red squares to the bottom of this piece without the need of supports? The red squares will be mating tabs so I still need the bottom of the main piece to be completely flat. I hope I am making sense. (I know very little about 3d design and printing). Thank you.

Hey Joe,

That’s right, MJF 3D printing and other powder bed technologies, like SLS, don’t require additional supports. You can add the blocks at the bottom :wink:
