Voxel-based fabrication through material property mapping: A design method for bitmap printing

We present a bitmap printing method and digital workflow using multi-material high resolution Additive Manufacturing (AM). Material composition is defined based on voxel resolution and used to fabricate a design object with locally varying material stiffness, aiming to satisfy the design objective. In this workflow voxel resolution is set by the printer’s native resolution, eliminating the need for slicing and path planning. Controlling geometry...
