Abstract: A system and method is provided that facilitates computing surfaces for layers of a multi-layer part. The system may include at least one processor configured to determine a plurality of surfaces for layers of at least one material that form a multi-layer part by repeatedly carrying out a level set method computation. The level set method computation may be carried out relative to an interface surface that propagates outwardly with each determined surface for each layer with respect to an initial surface, based on data that defines at least one thickness of the material in each layer and at least one drop-off rate of the material at a boundary of the material in each layer.

Abstract: Method, systems, and processes are provided for generating a model having a plurality of represented composite layers, wherein the represented composite layers do not fill one or more inclusions within a structural volume represented within a computer aided drafting (CAD) model representing a composite part. The composite part can then be manufactured, based on the resultant generated model, using any manufacturing technique, including but not limited to, 3D printer, hand layup, automated layup, and other methods for distributing multiple layers of a composite material onto a laminate surface to manufacture a composite part.
