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

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

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

    PrintAnything: Learning an Intermediate Representation for 3D printing G-code Generation

    arXiv:2607.27729v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Point clouds are one of the most fundamental and widely used 3D representations, serving as the most basic geometric representation of 3D shapes. Nevertheless, most existing 3D printing pipelines require a watertight mesh as input, …
