One may think that when it comes to 3D printing, slicing software is pretty much a solved problem. Take a 3D model, slice it into flat layers equal to layer height, and make a toolpath so the nozzle ...

When slicing a model for 3D printing, the part is divided into a stack of flat, 2D layers. But there’s an alternative in the form of non-planar slicing, where the layers can follow 3D curves. [Rene K.

Loads STL meshes, recenters them in the print volume and aligns the base to the configured rim height. Computes a steady-phase convex meniscus using the supplied physics parameters (surface tension, ...

Multi-axis motion introduces more degrees of freedom into the process of 3D printing to enable different objectives of fabrication by accumulating materials layers upon curved layers. An existing ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the development of an automatic printout information analysis system for post-processing automation of additive manufacturing equipment. Since optical 3D printers can ...
