Dear Jason:

Rapid Tools software has a module called Rapid Supports for generation
of support structures.

We have the following types of supports available:

-web support
-profile support
-chain support
-point support
-gusset support

Furthermore, there are many optimization parameters allowing you find
the best solution. Also, the software is fully visual, so that you can
view exactly what you will get.

Please let us know if you want to evaluate this product.

Sincerely,
Michael Tsenter
