3d printing method with customizable printing configurations
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240033996A1) describes a method for printing a three-dimensional object using a digital model. The method involves partitioning the digital model into slices and segments, receiving user-specified printing parameters, determining the order of printing segments based on certain criteria, and generating printing instructions for a printer to create the object. The method aims to optimize the printing process by reducing heat generation, minimizing lifting, tool change, and material change operations during printing.
Additionally, the method includes selecting a fill pattern for the toolpath, such as a line, concentric pattern, directional line, overhang pattern, or hooked line. The sequence of printing segments is determined to enhance efficiency and reduce operational complexities for the printer. The method also involves a unique printing process where feedstock is melted and deposited layer by layer to form the three-dimensional object. Overall, the method outlined in the patent application aims to streamline the printing process, improve printing quality, and optimize resource utilization for creating three-dimensional objects.
