Bridges
Depositing material in the air.
Bridging refers to the ability of the 3D printer to deposit material in the air between two points without the need for support material.
Even though bridging is heavily affected by the 3D printer and the materials that are used, it's not recommended to add gaps or bridges of over 15 mm.
If a design includes gaps larger than 15 mm, the lower part of the bridge will sag unless support material is added.
It's important to mention that bridges connect two points that are at the same height, and it connects them with a straight line.
Any gap that connects two points at different heights is an overhang. The overhangs are presented in a separated part.
Bringing testing part presentation.
To be 3D printable, long bridges will need the use support material to avoid collapsing.
Support structure is presented in a separated part.
