You can select the type of the Platform Addition in the “Edit Template” drop-list.
There are three types of Platform Addition:
Raft/Brim/Skirt.
Raft
is to print several layers similar to the base structure before printing the model. Raft can
enhance the adhesion between the model and the build plate and reduce the risk of model warping.
Note:
1. It is not recommended to print Raft when printing flexible filaments.
2. It is not recommended to print Raft with PVA filaments.
3. If the model size is larger than 150mm, it is recommended to use the Raft first.
Brim
is an outward extension of the first layer of the model (like the brim of a hat) that allows for better
adhesion to the printing surface.
Skirt
is a loop or several loops of filament extruded around the first layer of the model to confirm a
steady flow of filament when printing.

You can select the type of Support in the “Support” drop-list.
There are three types of Support:
None/Touch Platform Only/All.
None
refers to no support structure will be added for the model.
Touch Platform Only
refers to only adding support structures which can touch the build plate. Those
supports added from one surface of the model to another surface of the model will not be created.
All
refers to adding support structures to all the overhanging parts of the model.
Note:
If model A is stacked on model B, ideaMaker will not be able to detect whether support
structure will be created for model A. ideaMaker will open a window with the message, “The model is
not on the build platform and has no support, do you want to assess support structures?” If the model
does not need support, you can click “No” to not add support structure to the model.
