Self-intersections

 

Check if the shoe self-intersects, when some faces cross other faces. Self intersection can result in printing defects which compromise the final quality of the product. 

 

When Rejected:

  • Avoid areas with high concentration of small faces,
  • Created by not clean mesh operations (boolean logos) 
  • Created when joining surfaces
  • Created during displacement maps.

Establishing a clean 3D modelling workflow plays a major role in preventing watertight and self-intersection issues.
