Abstract

Making arts and crafts is an essential application of 3D printing. However, typically, 3D printers have limited resolution; thus, the perceptual quality of the result is always low, mainly when the input mesh is a relief. To address this problem using existing 3D printing technology, we only operate the shape of the input triangle mesh. To improve the perceptual quality of a 3D printed product, we propose an integrated mesh processing that comprises feature extraction, 3D print preview, feature preservation test, and shape enhancement. The proposed method can identify and enlarge features that need to be enhanced without large-scale deformation. Besides, to improve ease of use, intermediate processes are visualized via user interfaces. To evaluate the proposed method, the processed triangle meshes are 3D printed. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is confirmed by comparing photographs of the original 3D prints and the enhanced 3D prints.

网格处理可提高3D打印浮雕的感知质量☆

摘要

制作手工艺品是3D打印的重要应用。但是，通常3D打印机的分辨率有限。因此，主要在输入网格为凸版时，结果的感知质量始终较低。为了使用现有的3D打印技术解决此问题，我们仅操作输入三角形网格的形状。为了提高3D打印产品的感知质量，我们提出了一种集成的网格处理，其中包括特征提取，3D打印预览，特征保存测试和形状增强。所提出的方法可以识别和扩大需要增强的特征，而无需大规模变形。此外，为了提高易用性，可通过用户界面显示中间过程。为了评估所提出的方法，将处理后的三角形网格进行3D打印。
