# Manufacturing Support Volume
***
Implicit Body, Plane, Scalar, Scalar, Scalar, Manufacturing Support Region Type Enum
Find the volume needed to support a body for an additive manufacturing process based on overhang angle.
### Inputs
| Name | Type | Description |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Body | [Implicit Body](../../../../block-documentation/types/implicit-body) | The body to support. |
| Build plane | [Plane](../../../../block-documentation/types/plane) | The build plane. |
| Feature size | [Scalar](../../../../block-documentation/types/scalar) | The minimum feature size used to discretize the body. This input will affect the resolution of the support volume and the speed of the algorithm. |
| Overhang angle | [Scalar](../../../../block-documentation/types/scalar) | The overhang angle that will define where supports are required. Regions on the body that form a shallower angle than the overhang angle with respect to the build plane will define the support volume. |
| Min overhang angle | [Scalar](../../../../block-documentation/types/scalar) | An option to define the support volume only to this minimum overhang angle. |
| Support region | Manufacturing Support Region Type Enum | An option to define whether to build supports for internal, external, or both regions of the body. |
### Outputs
| Type |
| -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Voxel Grid](../../../../block-documentation/types/voxel-grid) |
