Full control. Fewer wasted clicks.

• Explicit actions only

  Nothing is added, moved, or deleted unless you do it. There is no silent support generator running in the background.

• Parametric, not baked early

  Supports stay editable definitions — contact Ø, tip length, shaft upper/lower, foot boss, penetration — until you export.

• Slicer stays the slicer

  Resin profiles, layer settings, and printer transfer remain in Lychee / CHITUBOX. Support Lab owns the geometry authoring step only.

• Single-support routing

  Click a surface contact; the pillar routes tip → joint → vertical shaft → plate foot. Every dimension is live-editable. Presets (light / medium / heavy / custom) set starting values — never lock you in.

• Bridges & struts

  Two-click spans between surfaces or onto existing support spines. Standard bridges keep tip/joint anatomy; strut profiles are shaft-only helpers for bracing without extra knuckles. Delete a parent pillar and attached dependents go with it.

• Pattern distributions

  Line, rectangle, and circle layouts with spacing or count control, margins, and live preview before commit. Density is your call; the tool only removes repetitive placement work.

• Linked instances

  Array a part as instances: change scale or rotation on one, and every linked copy updates with it. Independent duplicates are still available when you want a one-off.

• Visual support editor

  Inspect and edit support anatomy in a dedicated editor — contact Ø, penetration, tip, shaft, foot, presets — without digging through opaque property lists. What you see is what exports.

• Surface inspection

  Viewport materials built for reading form: normal-map shading, 3D checker, clay and ceramic looks. Spot flatness, undercuts, and contact quality before you commit supports — display only, never baked into the STL.

• Print cages

  Parametric rect / circle cages with floor, walls, and arch or honeycomb openings. Size, thickness, and density stay editable; export with the model when you need a protective frame for the print.

• Selection & bulk edit

  Multi-select, rectangle/lasso, select-similar by preset, duplicate, retarget type, and delete in one pass. Undo/redo covers the full support graph — same expectations as desktop engineering software.

• Contact inspection

  Toggle (or hold) a mode where the model goes transparent and contact footprints draw at true physical diameter. Read diameter and penetration in mm; spot weak or disconnected contacts before they cost a failed print.

• Island analysis

  Layer-step occupancy with bridge tolerance and optional grounding from existing support columns. Markers land on undersides; place a pillar from a marker without leaving Supports mode. Tunable layer height, cell size, min area, and bridge mm.

• Viewport that respects scale

  Z-up, millimetres, build plate, Fusion/Blender/3ds Max navigation presets. Materials and overlays stay viewport-only — they never alter export geometry.

• Export for the next hop

  Binary STL out: combined supported mesh, or oriented model + supports as two files with identical baked coordinates. Transformations are baked; contacts overlap by configured penetration — no microscopic gaps for the slicer to “fix” later.

1. 01
   CAD / mesh out Export STL or OBJ (mm) from Fusion, Blender, or equivalent. No resin profile required here.
2. 02
   Orient + support Position the part, place parametric supports, inspect contacts, clear islands, save a project file if you need to revise later.
3. 03
   Hand off to slicer Import into Lychee or CHITUBOX. Keep orientation locked if you split model/supports — then set resin, layer, and machine as usual.

Early-access builds for trusted testers (~14 days after compile, then the app asks you to install a newer build).
