  • Generating adapted control instructions for a 3D printing process
    Patent number: 11090872
    Abstract: Method and system arranged for obtaining an electronic 3D model of a 3D object to be fabricated. The method further including generating control instructions based on the electronic 3D model and process parameters of the fabrication process, determining a mesh model representing the electronic 3D model, the mesh model including elements each having at least one property that is affectable by at least one of the process parameters, and performing simulation of the fabrication process in time using the control instructions, the mesh model and the process parameters. The simulation includes establishing a deviation of the at least one property relative to a reference thereof for each element of the mesh model, wherein the deviation is induced by at least one of the process parameters, and establishing an adaptation for the at least one property of each element of the mesh model to compensate for the deviation.
