Printing Despite Self Intersections, Open Faces, and Inverted Normals

Hi, I am working on Poly-Jet printing a full-color model on the J55 Prime that will be encased in a cube of VeroClear. GrabCad is flagging the inner, colored model with some self intersections, open faces, and inverted normals. Considering the fact that the rendering of the model in GrabCAD looks good and that the model with errors will be printed within the clear cube, is it possible to bypass these errors and continue with the print?

Hello Brian and thanks for your question!

Bypassing mesh problems is not possible as it would directly impact quality of the print. However, I recommend you trying the Analysis Mode to see if GrabCAD Print would automatically repair your model(s).
