The term you're wanting to describe is "overhang" when a feature of an object is pointing out horizontally into the air. Most slicing programs can generate supports for these features, but need to know how much "bridging" distance the printer can handle in order to determine the density of the support needed. Alternatively, you can incorporate custom supports into your model that connect in places and ways that aren't obvious when they are clipped off the model after the end of the print. This is as much an art as a science, but it's pretty easy to get manually-designed supports to work more efficiently than the automatically generated ones.Quote

I used the case of "letters T,E,Z" as example only.
