Point Cloud Slicing For 3-D Printing
Point Cloud Slicing For 3-D Printing |
Abstract
This paper revisits a more than half a century-old problem: slice a free-form object into layers for manufacturing. A point-based approach is taken that would have been prohibitive even a decade ago. Due to modern hardware, plenty of storage and a plethora of software packages, the time has come to ditch complicated and error prone numerical code and deploy a simple point-based method to achieve robustness and accuracy that have been lacking for a very long time.
