Adaptive Layering Algorithm for 3D Printing with Stereolithography Model Feature Details Retained
An improved adaptive layering algorithm with STL model feature details retained is proposed for problems of the traditional adaptive layering algorithm for 3D printing
such as complicated calculation
inability to eliminate the influence of the step effect on the model
failure to retain model features
and easy loss of model features. The improved algorithm first determines whether the current layer contains significant feature edges. It then adaptively determines the layer thickness by the angle between the two adjacent triangular mesh vectors for the case with such edges
by the angle between the triangular mesh vector and the forming direction for the case without such edges
and by the change in the number of closed curves in the adjacent tangent planes for the case where the model has feature offsets. Finally
the minimum value of the adaptive layer thickness in the above three cases is used as the basis for the current layering. The results show that
for the adopted dinosaur model
the proposed algorithm not only retains the detailed features of the model
but also significantly improves the modeling quality; the proposed algorithm has an accuracy 28.6% and 31.7%
respectively
higher than that of the vector adaptive layering algorithm based on the triangular slice method and the adaptive layering algorithm that only retains the model features. The algorithm reduces the influence of step effect and model feature loss and offset on the printing quality
improving the model printing accuracy to a certain extent.
