Abstract

As a rapid prototyping technology, 3D printing is widely used in various fields. In the aspect of slicing, it is divided into equal thickness slicing and adaptive slicing. Most of the 3D printers on the market today use equal thickness slices, but equal thickness slicing cannot balance accuracy and efficiency, this paper need adaptive slicing to address this issue. This paper first introduces how to adjust the layer thickness through the triangular surface’s normal vector of the STL model to weaken the adaptive slicing. Secondly, it introduces how to preserve more details of the model while ensuring efficiency on the basis of common adaptive slicing methods. Finally, some methods which are different from common adaptive slicing methods are introduced to adjust the layer thickness from different angles to achieve different purposes. The research in this paper provides ideas for the understanding and development of 3D printing adaptive slicing, and has important value for the research and application of adaptive slicing.
