Common errors
Some common errors that cause part-quality-related issues are illustrated below. They can be fixed in the native
CAD software; or, if that is not available, in Magics, Netfabb, or HP Smartstream 3D Build Manager. If these files
are not fixed before attempting to build the design, either the software will not allow you to proceed due to poor
file quality, or your part will not have good quality. Therefore, it is prudent to spend time at this stage to check
that the CAD file designer produced a high-quality and printable design.
