3D Printing - Support Structures

Which of the following is the correct way to describe a chamfer in 3D printing design?

AA beveled edge cut at an angle to reduce sharp corners

BA vertical wall with no angle

CA hollow cavity inside the model to save material

DA rounded edge that supports overhangs

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Define chamfer
A chamfer is a beveled edge cut at an angle, usually 45 degrees, to reduce sharp corners and help with printing.
Step 2: Eliminate other options
Rounded edges are fillets, hollow cavities save material but are not chamfers, vertical walls have no angle.
Final Answer:
A beveled edge cut at an angle to reduce sharp corners -> Option A
Quick Check:
Chamfer = beveled edge [OK]

Quick Trick: Chamfer means angled edge, not rounded or hollow [OK]
