| 20150151492 | GENERATING SUPPORT MATERIAL FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING - In one embodiment of the present invention, a support structure generator creates support structures designed to buttress three-dimensional (3D) digital models during 3D printing. In operation, the support structure generator incrementally constructs a support graph that connects overhanging points included in the 3D model with support points on a horizontal ground plane or relatively flat surfaces in the 3D model.
