Illogical and faulty automatic support placement - workaround?

Hi guys,

For my current model the automatic support is badly placed by the algorithm since it misses a few layers and then believes it can just print more support onto thin air.

1st support layers are put down correctly.

Support is no longer added.

Support is laid down onto thin air - nothing was printed underneath.

Support keeps being added. The gap in support is visible.

What's going on here? How can I work around this?

All the best

      The goal of this contest is to design a set of people figurines that could be used in such a project to make an area, office or mall seem populated. 
      Think of different types of people in different environments, like walking people, people standing still, working people, and both men and women.

      Taking advantage of DfAM

      SteveCox3D posted a topic in Engineering,

      This is a statement that’s often made about AM/3DP. I'll focus on the way DfAM can take advantage of some of the unique capabilities that AM and 3DP have to offer. I personally think that the use of AM/3DP for light-weighting is one of it’s most exciting possibilities and one that could play a key part in the sustainability of design and manufacturing in the future.
