  [1] |  | Cross-Section  A cross-section in 3D printing refers to a single horizontal slice of a 3D model, representing one layer of the object being printed. Cross-sections are analyzed and generated during the slicing process, where the model is divided into layers based on the selected layer height. Reviewing cross-sections helps users identify potential issues like gaps, overhangs, or unsupported areas. By optimizing the cross-sectional design, users can improve print strength, surface quality, and overall structural integrity. |
