Abstract
A system and method is provided that facilitates computing surfaces for layers of a multi-layer part. The system may include at least one processor configured to determine a plurality of surfaces for layers of at least one material that form a multi-layer part by repeatedly carrying out a level set method computation. The level set method computation may be carried out relative to an interface surface that propagates outwardly with each determined surface for each layer with respect to an initial surface, based on data that defines at least one thickness of the material in each layer and at least one drop-off rate of the material at a boundary of the material in each layer.
