Smoothing STL files by Max‐Fit biarc curves for rapid prototyping

摘要: Presents a method of Max‐Fit biarc curve fitting technique to improve the accuracy STL files and reduce file size for rapid prototyping. has been widely accepted as de facto standard format prototyping industry. However, is an approximated representation true solid/surface model, huge amount data needed provide sufficient reconstruct slicing The algorithm progresses through intersection points find most efficient fitting, while improving accuracy. Our results show that proposed curve‐fitting can significantly poorly generated by smoothing Therefore, less strict requirements (i.e. loose triangle tolerances) be used generating files.
