We pose the decompose-and-pack or DAP problem, which tightly combines shape decomposition and packing of 3D objects for efficient 3D printing. The goal is to optimally decompose-and-pack a 3D object...

Under the multi-phase level set framework, we present an automatic system to generate quality partitioning of various 3D models for packing and fast printing, according to six metrics: stress load,...

We introduce a perceptual model for determining 3D printing orientations. 3D printers require robust support structures at overhangs, and often residual material remains even after supports have...

We present an interactive design system that allows casual users to quickly create 3D-printable robotic creatures. Our approach automates the tedious parts of the design process while providing...
