Biomed Tech (Berl). 2002:47 Suppl 1 Pt 1:83-5. doi: 10.1515/bmte.2002.47.s1a.83.

Abstract

In this paper we present a work-in-progress method for fast and efficient generation of stereolithographic models. The overall approach is embedded in our general software framework Julius, which runs on high-end-graphic systems as well as on low-level PCs. The design of the support structures needed for the stereolithographic process will allow semiautomatic generation of the model. We did produce support structures for stereolithographic models with this fast data processing pipeline and will show future perspectives in this paper.
