Abstract
A system and a method visualize three dimensional (3D) printability of a 3D model. A 3D printing process of the 3D model is simulated to generate a layered 3D model describing the 3D model as printed. A visual rendering of the layered 3D model is generated, and the visual rendering of the layered 3D model is displayed on a display device.
