Abstract

A system for, and method of, printing a three-dimensional (3D) object are presented. The techniques can include obtaining a three-dimensional virtual representation of the object; obtaining first and second 3D printing strategies; obtaining first and second virtual extrusion renderings, wherein the virtual extrusion renderings corresponds to first and second toolpaths for a deposition layer of the object according to the first and second 3D printing strategies; performing first and second comparisons of, respectively, the first and second virtual extrusion renderings to a corresponding portion of the three-dimensional virtual representation of the object; determining, based on the first and second comparisons, respectively, first and second regions of the object that do not intersect the virtual extrusion rendering; providing an output 3D printing strategy for the deposition layer of the object selected from among the first and second 3D printing strategies based on the first and second regions of the object.
