“…However, this MOD is limited only to the first layers of the overhanging structures. Gao et al [51] modified a standard low-cost FDM printer with a revolving cuboidal platform and printed partitioned geometries around cuboidal facets, which achieves a multidirectional additive prototyping process to eliminate the support and print materials usage. The disadvantage of this method is that parts with complex geometries cannot be approximated by a single cuboid, thus are unable to be printed.…”

Additive manufacturing (AM) has developed rapidly since its inception in the 1980s. AM is perceived as an environmentally friendly and sustainable technology and has already gained a lot of attention globally. The potential freedom of design offered by AM is, however, often limited when printing complex geometries due to an inability to support the stresses inherent within the manufacturing process. Additional support structures are often needed, which leads to material, time and energy waste. Research in support structures is, therefore, of great importance for the future and further improvement of additive manufacturing. This paper aims to review the varied research that has been performed in the area of support structures. Fifty-seven publications regarding support structure optimization are selected and categorized into six groups for discussion. A framework is established in which future research into support structures can be pursued and standardized. By providing a comprehensive review and discussion on support structures, AM can be further improved and developed in terms of support waste in the future, thus, making AM a more sustainable technology.

“…Rotational motions have also been used to avoid manual assembly. In [Gao et al 2015a], material accumulation is applied around a cubic component, printing a 3D model on top of an existing object. Only cubic shapes are considered as the cores.…”

“…Mataerial [14] introduced a robot arm to create complex 3D shapes, and Song et al [27] demonstrated a parallel kinematic machine for conformal printing. Gao et al [8] showed how electronics can be embedded into a 3D print with a rotational cuboidal platform. MultiFab [25] demonstrated vision based approaches for printing on existing objects with multiple materials.…”

Current interactive fabrication tools offer tangible feedback by allowing users to work directly on the physical model, but they are slow because users need to participate in the physical instantiation of their designs. In contrast, CAD software offers powerful tools for 3D modeling but delays access to the physical workpiece until the end of the design process. In this paper we propose On-the-Fly Print: a 3D modeling approach that allows the user to design 3D models digitally while having a low-fidelity physical wireframe model printed in parallel. Our software starts printing features as soon as they are created and updates the physical model as needed. Users can quickly check the design in a real usage context by removing the partial physical print from the printer and replacing it afterwards to continue printing. Digital content modification can be updated with quick physical correction using a retractable cutting blade. We present the detailed description of On-the-Fly Print and showcase several examples designed and printed with our system.
