Question 1

Should the model be placed directly on the forming plate?

Accepted Answer

That depends on the model design and appliance. Some models can be placed directly on the machine's model plate, while others are better embedded into forming granules so unnecessary base height is buried and only the required anatomy protrudes. The aim is to minimise material stretching while maintaining access to the areas that need to be formed.
