Abstract
A method includes receiving a representation of a near-net shape including a 3D part and a support volume. The method also includes calculating a measure of inaccessibility of the support volume by at least one subtractive tool assembly. The method also includes calculating a measure of change in a physical quantity of interest with respect to a change in the near-net shape. The method also includes constructing a physics-aware inaccessibility measure based at least partially upon the measure of inaccessibility, the measure of change, or both. The method also includes creating a plan to remove at least a portion of the support volume using the at least one subtractive tool assembly based at least partially upon the physics-aware inaccessibility measure.
