Stratasys 3D Printing: Building After a Failure

This guide provides essential instructions for Stratasys 3D printing users on how to resume and complete a part build following a machine failure or power loss. It details a practical procedure designed to save valuable build time and material resources.

The process involves identifying the last successfully completed layer, adjusting the print job settings in Stratasys Insight software, and preparing the remaining portion for a new build. This method is especially useful for long-duration prints or when restarting the entire build is not feasible.

Key steps include:

• Locating the last built layer on Fortus and Maxum systems.
• Modifying job files to define the build range.
• Repositioning the part geometry for continued printing.
• Generating new supports and toolpaths.
• Joining the newly printed section to the original part.
