ADAPTIVE MATERIAL DEPOSITION IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL FABRICATION

摘要

The subject disclosure is directed towards adapting a three-dimensional model to surface geometry when fabricating a three-dimensional object. While partitioning model data into planar regions and non-planar regions of the three-dimensional object, the model data associated with the non-planar regions is modified to more accurately generate a path that follows the object's curved surface geometry. This path is transformed into an instruction set, which when executed by a device, causes movement along the path while depositing material on the three-dimensional object.

1. In a computing environment, a method performed at least in part on at least one processor, comprising, adapting a three-dimensional model to surface geometry when fabricating a three-dimensional object, including, processing model data defining planar regions and non-planar regions of the three-dimensional object, generating an instruction set that comprises instructions corresponding to the non-planar regions, and generating other instructions for the instruction set that correspond to the planar regions.
