    摘要: According to one aspect, embodiments herein provide a 3D printing system comprising an interface, a database, a production planning system configured to receive a model provided by a user, and a multi-part counting system configured to receive, from the production planning system, the user-provided model, calculate a bounds of the user-provided model, perform a first test on each of the plurality of pieces of the model to determine if each piece can escape the bounds of the model individually in relation to each other piece of the model, perform a second test on each of the plurality of pieces of the model to determine if each piece can escape the bounds of the model simultaneously in relation to all other pieces of the model, and output, based on the first test and the second test, a determination of different discrete and interlocking parts in the model.

    摘要: A method for evaluating and printing a 3D model is provided. According to one aspect, a method is provided for determining quickly what areas of a modeled object can be printed. According to one embodiment, a method is provided that distinguishes from "features" of a model versus "details." According to one aspect, it is appreciated that some details of a model may be omitted safely in a 3D print output, while portions of a model identified as features may not be printed without some defect in the output. Systems and methods are provided for evaluating the object and its regions and determining whether the object can be printed.
