  • Patent number: 9744756
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus and a computer readable medium for producing a prototype diagram of a three dimensional (3D) object are provided. In the method, an object in a 3D diagram is scanned to determine transections and intersections at which each of the transections overlaps with the object are determined in order. Then, whether each of the intersections is supported on a neighbor transection of the transection is determined. If the intersection is not supported on the neighbor transection, a support frame is disposed on the location of the intersection between the transection and the neighbor transection. At last, all the transections are combined to produce a prototype diagram of the object.
