Abstract
According to various aspects and embodiments described herein, a method for optimizing a three-dimensional (3D) printing process comprises receiving 3D data characterizing a target 3D part, generating a 3D part mesh based on the received 3D data, generating a Signed Distance Field (SDF) based on the 3D part mesh, performing a predictive analysis using the SDF to generate a predicted error field, calculating a correction field based on the predicted error field, applying the correction field to the 3D part mesh to produce a corrected 3D part mesh, creating a corrected 3D print profile using the corrected 3D part mesh, outputting the corrected 3D print profile to a 3D printing device, and printing a corrected 3D part using the 3D printing device and the corrected 3D print profile.
