Abstract
A computer program product for generating data for a three-dimensional (3D) printable object includes a computer readable storage medium. The computer readable storage medium includes computer usable program code embodied therewith. The computer usable program code, when executed by a processing device converts mesh data into a volumetric voxel data set. The voxel data set is organized as an N-ary tree defining at least a portion of the 3D printable object. The computer usable program code converts the N-ary tree of the voxel data set into print instructions defining a truss structure, and prints the 3D object including the truss structure.
