New framework generates 3D print G-code directly from point clouds

Researchers have developed a new framework called PrintAnything that generates 3D printing G-code directly from 3D point clouds, bypassing the need for mesh reconstruction. This method addresses issues with mesh artifacts that can cause printing failures. The framework introduces a slice-wise point projection strategy and a novel 2D representation called Geometric plan (G-plan) map, which includes occupancy, region, and flow maps to encode necessary geometric and extrusion properties for toolpath synthesis. This approach offers a practical, mesh-free pipeline for 3D printing. AI
