SOLIDWORKS supports 3D printing of models that contain surface bodies and
graphics bodies only if they form a watertight manifold
volume.
Previously, 3D printing of surface
and graphics bodies was not supported and you could only 3D print solid bodies. Now, you
can 3D print surfaces or graphics bodies provided they form a watertight manifold
volume. Bodies that do not form a watertight manifold volume are temporarily hidden and
bodies that form a watertight manifold volume get 3D printed.
