  Abstract

Converting a large object such as a human manikin into small pieces can reduce the printing time and filament usage in 3D printing. On the contrary, the smaller thickness of the pieces can lead to more numerical errors in the mesh operation processes. This research proposes a modified algorithm, which can predict filament usage and the optimal object orientation in 3D printing, for a thin-shell-structure human manikin data, even with zero thickness. The new method was verified for a manikin bodice mesh data with 0 mm, 0.1 mm, 1 mm, and 5 mm thickness. The four data’s g-code generation was also checked. The algorithm source code was implemented both for CPU and GPU, and uploaded to Github as open-source.
