    The document discusses challenges related to large mesh and volume 3D printing models. It notes that out-of-core processing is required for high resolution models, simplification, analysis and repair. Approaches to out-of-core processing mentioned include streaming data through stages with inter-stage dependencies known at compile time. The document also discusses a streaming architecture used to reduce memory usage for slicing a large cube model. It acknowledges contributions from other researchers and thanks early adopters. Open challenges discussed include dealing with issues in input models, the need for a unified slicer to address different technologies, and exploiting properties of materials and multi-material printing for new design possibilities.

    data)

    • Out-of-core mesh

    MESH > MAIN
    MEMORY

    • Out-of-core processing
    required:
    • Model loading and slicing
    • Simplification (for display)
    • Analysis and repair

    • Approaches
    • Isenburg & Gumhold 2003
    • Lindstrom 2003
    • Liu et al. 2003

    Z18: TOOL PATH >
    MAIN MEMORY

    • Example: slice a cube at full build


    volume, 100 microns, standard 10%
    infill

    • Solution: stream data through stages

    • Memory usage reduced from 6 GB to


    300 MB

    • Software architecture considerations:


    • Easy to create new stages and define
    dependencies
    • Most inter-stage dependencies known at
    compile time

    OPEN CHALLENGES
    5pm – 5:15pm
    CHALLENGING MESHES

    • How to deal with issues in input


    models
    • Holes, ambiguous in/out

    • Features
    • Thin walls
    • Many thin features
    • Fragile inputs [Stava et al. 2013]

    10
    UNIFIED SLICER

    • A slicer that addresses all


    technologies:
    • FDM, SLA, SLS, CNC?

    • Each have different requirements

    • However there are many


    common issues
    • Bad inputs, slicing, supports, etc.

    11
    DESIGN TOOLS FOR FABRICATION

    • Exploit ‘drawbacks’
    • Visual anisotropy
    • Transparency
    • Filament ‘drooloops’

    • Exploit properties of filament


    • Wire meshes [Super Flowers, Peetersm, CC BY-SA 3.0]
    • Chainmail

    • Multi-material
    • soft, conductive, etc.
