    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving an offset amount for a first boundary representation of a first three-dimensional object, forming a second boundary representation of a second three-dimensional object, the second three-dimensional object being an offset version of the first three-dimensional object, and processing the second boundary representation of the second three-dimensional object for output by a physical device. The forming includes using multi-threading to process respective ones of the connected surface elements to produce offset surface elements for the second boundary representation of the second three-dimensional object in accordance with the offset amount, and identifying portions of the connected surface elements that will not have corresponding portions in the offset surface elements by evaluating a distance field representation of the first three-dimensional object using sampling points taken from the connected surface elements, the offset surface elements, or both.
