Abstract
A method for arranging joints to a 3D model is present. The method first obtains a 3D file, and executes a slice process to a 3D model recorded in the 3D file for obtaining a plurality of cross sections. During the slice process, the method determines if differences between each two cross-section areas of two adjoined cross sections is larger than a threshold. If the difference between the two cross-section areas of two adjoined cross sections is larger than the threshold, the method obtains a corresponding joint data from a database, and arranges the joint data into a position between the two adjoined cross sections. The method finally outputs the arranged 3D model to a 3D printer.
