摘要： Methods and apparatuses for distributing slice area of objects more uniformly to optimize the build process of additive manufacturing techniques are disclosed. For example, a slice area distribution of a 3D design is calculated. Further, it is determined if the calculated slice area distribution and/or other aspects of the 3D design meets a criteria based on one or more quality metrics. If the calculated slice area distribution and/or other aspects of the 3D design do not meet the criteria, the 3D design is adjusted. The determination and adjustment may be performed iteratively until the calculated slice area distribution and/or other aspects of the 3D meet the criteria.

摘要： A system and method for modifying features in designs of objects to make them physically capable of being manufactured using additive manufacturing techniques and machines is provided, carrying out the following steps: Determine if one or more surfaces of the object have a surface angle below a threshold angle; designate one or more edges including a first edge, the first edge being between a first surface of the one or more surfaces and a second surface of the one or more surfaces, wherein the first surface has a surface angle below the threshold angle and the second surface has a surface angle equal to or above the threshold angle; and generate one or more additional surfaces along the one or more edges in the design file.
