Slicing and Contours Generation for Fabricating Heterogeneous Objects
نویسندگان
چکیده
A contour sub-division algorithm on each layer arising from slicing a heterogeneous object is proposed. Within each slice, the material grading is decomposed into subcontours according to the different grading variation. A parameter called “grading step-width” is defined to control the number of sub-contours and resolution of the grading. With such discretization, it is, therefore, possible to build a heterogeneous object on layered manufacturing machines of different fabricating precision specification.

Self-intersection Free and Topologically Faithful Slicing of Implicit Solid
We present a robust and efficient approach to directly slicing implicit solids. Different from prior slicing techniques that reconstruct contours on the slicing plane by tracing the topology of intersected line segments, which is actually not robust, we generate contours through a topology guaranteed contour extraction on binary images sampled from given solids and a subsequent contour simplifi...
متن کاملContours Extraction Using Line Detection and Zernike Moment
Most of the contour detection methods suffers from some drawbacks such as noise, occlusion of objects, shifting, scaling and rotation of objects in image which they suppress the recognition accuracy. To solve the problem, this paper utilizes Zernike Moment (ZM) and Pseudo Zernike Moment (PZM) to extract object contour features in all situations such as rotation, scaling and shifting of object i...
متن کاملData-Driven Material Modeling with Functional Advection for 3D Printing of Materially Heterogeneous Objects
We present a data-driven approach for the creation of high-resolution, geometrically complex, and materially heterogeneous 3D printed objects at product scale. Titled Data-driven Material Modeling (DdMM), this approach utilizes external and user-generated data sets for the evaluation of heterogeneous material distributions during slice generation, thereby enabling the production of voxel-matric...
متن کاملA proposed ISO 10303 (STEP)-based approach for representing heterogeneous objects for layered manufacturing
Solid modeling of objects forms an important task in design and manufacturing. Recent developments in the field of layered manufacturing (LM) have shown potential for the physical realization of heterogeneous (multi-material) objects. Thus, there is a need to represent material information as an integral part of the CAD model data. Slicing of the CAD model is an inherent part of process plannin...
متن کاملModeling and Fabrication of Heterogeneous Three-dimensional Objects based on Additive Manufacturing
Heterogeneous object modeling and fabrication has been studied in the past few decades. Recently the idea of digital materials has been demonstrated by using Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes. Our previous study illustrated that the mask-image-projection based Stereolithography (MIP-SL) process is promising in fabricating such heterogeneous objects. In the paper, we present an integrated fr...
