Printing Direction Optimization Through Slice Number and Support Minimization

One major drawback of 3D printing technologies is the low printing efficiency. In general, it takes 8-12 hours to print a normal 3D model. 3D printing technologies manufacture objects layer by layer where each layer is composed of one or more closed 2D polygons (named as slices in this work). As a r...
