Voronoi diagram and monte-carlo simulation based finite element optimization for cost-effective 3d printing

y extending the work published at ICCS 2020 [1], in this paper we propose a method to achieve cost-effective 3D printing of stiffened thin-shell objects. Our proposed method consists of three parts. The first part integrates finite element analysis, Voronoi diagram, and conformal mapping to obtain s...
