Due to the wide diffusion of 3D printing technologies, geometric algorithms for Additive
Manufacturing are being invented at an impressive speed. Each single step along the …

With the trends of Industry 4.0 spanning physical and virtual worlds, Additive Manufacturing
(AM) has been the mainstream for realizing complex geometries designed in computers …

We introduce an optimization framework for the reduction of support structures required by
3D printers based on Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology. The printers need to …

Digital fabrication devices exploit basic technologies in order to create tangible
reproductions of 3D digital models. Although current 3D printing pipelines still suffer from …

We develop a new kind of" space-filling" curves, connected Fermat spirals, and show their
compelling properties as a tool path fill pattern for layered fabrication. Unlike classical space …

We present a pipeline of algorithms that decomposes a given polygon model into parts such
that each part can be 3D printed with high (outer) surface quality. For this we exploit the fact …

We pose the decompose-and-pack or DAP problem, which tightly combines shape
decomposition and packing. While in general, DAP seeks to decompose an input shape into …

Recent advances in 3D printing technologies bring wide range of applications from fast
prototyping to product manufacturing. However, one intrinsic limitation of 3D printing is that …

An assembly refers to a collection of parts joined together to achieve a specific form and/or
functionality. Designing assemblies is a non‐trivial task as a slight local modification on a …

Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, has been highlighted as a
complementary method to the traditional (subtractive and formative) manufacturing. This …
