Feature Extraction and Optimum Part Deposition Orientation for FDM

Support generation is an essential for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process which is dependent on part deposition orientation. Various part deposition orientation result in formation of different support and non-support features. Present work focuses on extracting the support features containing Externally-Supported Features (ESF) which are able to determine the volume and number of support structure. The methodology proposed in this work uses these information as an input for Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in order to automate the selection of optimum part deposition orientation. The results produced in present methodology can be predicted and are in agreement with the results published earlier.
