Areas in the up-skin type do not present any further exposed layer above.
There are two options for processing the up-skins:
Up-skin recoating: the area of the up-skin type is exposed twice. The substrate plate is not driven upwards, instead a new powder layer is applied.
Up-skin remelting: the area of the up-skin type is exposed twice. The substrate plate is not driven upwards and no new powder layer is applied.
Regardless of the processing, up-skins can be exposed with hatch or border vector types.
| Vector Type | Description |
| Hatch (up-skin) | Hatches fill the inner area of the respective area of the up-skins. |
| Border (up-skin) | A border is a contour on the outer area of the part that surrounds the hatches (up-skin). |
