3차원 프린터의 출력 볼륨보다 큰 물체를 출력하기 위한 인터랙티브 3차원 메쉬 편집 시스템

Recently, as the public interests about the 3D printing technology are increased, various kinds of 3D printers are being released. But, they are limited to use because they cannot fabricate an object which is larger than the printer’s printing volume. To relieve this problem, we propose an interactive 3D mesh editing system for 3D printing the object that is larger than the printing volume. The proposed 3D editing system divides the input 3D mesh using the user’s line drawings defining cutting planes and it attaches various connectors. The output meshes are guaranteed to fabricate without post-processing. The printed parts can be assembled using the connectors. Our proposed system has an advantage that it can be used easily by non-professional 3D printer users.
