Automatic generation of alternative build orientations for laser powder bed fusion based on facet clustering

In this paper, a novel facet clustering based method is proposed to generate alternative build orientations for laser powder bed fusion. This method consists of two steps. First, a hierarchical clustering algorithm is applied to divide facets of the design model in standard tessellation language for...
