iowarp/clio-agent-marketplace/build-orientation

State the build orientation explicitly relative to a defined reference (build-plate normal / Z-axis) for the feature or specimen being discussed — "the part" does not have one orientation if different regions or specimens were built at different angles.

Connect orientation to its three characteristic consequences: crystallographic texture and columnar grain growth generally align with the local heat-flow direction (often close to build direction), producing directional strength and fatigue behavior; down-facing and shallow-angle surfaces require support structures and exhibit rougher as-built surface finish than up-facing or vertical surfaces; and staircasing on curved/angled surfaces sets an orientation-dependent achievable surface accuracy.

Do not assume properties measured on a vertically-built specimen apply to a horizontally-built feature of the same part, or vice versa — state the orientation the property claim was measured at.

Return the stated orientation, its texture/anisotropy consequence, its surface-finish and support consequence, and which specimens or features the claim actually covers.
