|An overhang angle is the angle the overhang sticks out from horizontal."|In the test part printed by the Fortus 380, there appeared “spaghetti” like structure below the printed part when the angle from the vertical direction exceeded about 60 degrees (overhang angle less than =90-60=30).
Also, in the test part printed by the Raise 3D-pro2 there was clear roughness below the structure when the angle from the vertical direction was 70 degrees ore more (overhang angle less or equal to 20)|
|"Bridging
|The bridge refers to the distance between two intermediate supports of a structure. Although horizontal spans are discouraged, certain geometries can be printed."|In the test piece printed by the Fortus 380, there was problems with the bridged structures (for all distances? - let’s check). Otherwise the test pieces printed by the other printers seemed ok.

|"Overhang
|An overhang is a part of the model that sticks out horizontally parallel to the build platform. This can cause the layers to lose their structure when printed without support.
|"|As mentioned at the angle section, the test piece printed by the Fortus showed problems when the overhang angle (the angle the overhang sticks out from horizontal direction) was less or equal to 30 degrees. Also in the test part printed by the Raise 3D-pro2 there was clear roughness below the structure when the overhang angle was less or equal to 20|

|Hole|The holes appeared to be printed reasonably well (judging from visual inspection) on all the other printers, except the Fortus 380c, where the hole shape deviated from the designed circular shape|
