Abstract: Various arrangements for performing setup of a wireless network without pairing are provided. A request mapped to a first characteristic may be transmitted using a first wireless protocol. In response to the request mapped to the first characteristic, a listing of one or more wireless networks within range mapped to a second characteristic may be transmitted by a peripheral device. Using the first wireless communication protocol, a third characteristic mapped to the selected wireless network and the password may be transmitted to the peripheral device. A connection to the selected wireless network using the password and the second wireless communication protocol may then be performed by the peripheral device.

Abstract: Shape diameter-based approaches to identifying and correcting 2D slices of 3D models (or the 3D models themselves) are provided for improved manufacturability. Using the present approaches, critical error-prone regions in 2D slices or 3D models can be identified, including thin extrusions and bridges, sharp corners, small holes, and narrow intrusions. The areas of these regions can be computed and used to quantify the printability of the slices or models. The boundaries of slices or models can be modeled as mass-spring-damper systems for performing local deformations to correct error-prone regions. External forces, that are a function of shape diameters and interior angles, can be imposed on the modeled systems for this purpose.

Abstract: A system may include a processor configured to receive toolpaths along which a 3D printer deposits beads of material in a plurality of layers in order to additively build up a product. Based on the toolpaths, the processor may determine an image for each layer and may process the images based on a default bead size to determine a bead size image for each layer comprised of pixels having values that specify bead size for locations along the toolpaths. The image processing produces pixel values for the bead size images that vary in magnitude at different locations along the toolpaths in order to represent smaller and larger bead sizes relative to the default bead size, which smaller and larger bead sizes respectively minimize over-depositing and under-depositing of material by the 3D printer that would otherwise occur with the default bead size.

Abstract: Systems and methods may support identification and redesign of critical thin segments in a 3D model that are below 3D printer resolution. Identification of critical thin segments may include segmenting cross-sectional slices of the 3D model into printable segments and non-printable segments and using a machine learning model trained using geometrical features computed on thin regions to classify the non-printable segments as critical or non-critical. Redesign of critical thin segments may include thickening the critical thin segments such that the segment size of the critical thin segments satisfy a thickening criterion with respect to the printer resolution and smoothing sharp corners added to the cross-sectional slice at an intersection between the critical thin segment and a neighboring printable segment. Redesign of the critical thin segments may account for tolerable overhang.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for providing variation in bead size to improve geometrical accuracy of deposited layers in an additive manufacturing process. The system may include at least one processor configured to receive a plurality of toolpaths along which a 3D printer deposits beads of material in a plurality of layers in order to additively build up a product. Based on the toolpaths, the processor may determine an image for each layer and may process the images based on a default bead size to determine a bead size image for each layer comprised of pixels having values that specify bead size for locations along the toolpaths.
