Volumize3d Overview Model Slice Print

Volumize3d 3D Bodies Composed of triangles Manifold (don’t crash into self, no holes)

Volumize3d Model Creating a 3D object – Constructive Solid Geometry – Volumizing (extruding) from 2D – Interactive Scene

Volumize3d CSG Constructive Solid Geometry Constructive solid geometry allows a modeler to create a complex surface or object by using boolean operators to combine objects. Often CSG presents a model or surface that appears visually complex, but is actually little more than cleverly combined or decombined objects. UU U -

Volumize3d Draw and Extrude Sometimes easier to draw 2D than CSG

Volumize3d Slice Reduces 3D object into layers, and ultimately tracks that the 3D printer will execute.

Volumize3d Print The tracks are sent as movement commands (GCODE) to the printer Fused Deposition Modelling – laying down layers of material
