Can support materials be selected in the DAC?
I'm interested in using support materials as functional elements of a model, and to do so I'd like to have support materials as part of a digital blend along with agilus or other rigid materials. With the DAC, will this be possible?
One (of many) potential applications I could see would be to embed soft plaques in organ models with durometer values softer than what's possible than with agilus or tissue matrix. In addition, I can see using this as a way to balance out the additional stiffness you get from adding vero-color material to color a model. Thus, you could have a deep blue/red colored element that still remains soft. I remember hearing last meeting that this was a issue for some of us.

Hi Priyo,
the Support material would be one of the selectable materials in the DAC. However, printing with the Support as model material could be very tricky and one should be very careful on how to implement it in a print.
The possibilities of the DAC are vast - and really present an opportunity to explore and Research, along with it there is the possibility to fail.
The main goal of this Group is to learn from one another and share from your experience how to maximize the value and minimize the damage.
