Abstract
Three-dimensional printing is a layer-by-layer stacking process. It can realize complex models that cannot be manufactured by traditional manufacturing technology. The most common model currently used for 3D printing is the STL model. It uses planar triangles to simplify the CAD model. This approach makes it difficult to fit complex surface shapes with high accuracy. The fitting result usually suffers from loss of local features of the model, poor fitting accuracy, or redundant data due to face piece subdivision, which will cause problems such as poor manufacturing accuracy or difficult data processing. To this end, this paper proposes a method for constructing Hermite surface models considering high-precision fitting of 3D printing models. The mapping relationship between different surface triangles and the same base triangle is established by analyzing the characteristics of Hermite surface triangles in AMF format files and using the radial variation property. By constructing a cubic surface model with general parameters and combining the vertex and tangent vector information, a cubic Hermite curve and surface triangle model are obtained. A sampling mapping point solution method is proposed, which transforms the volume integration problem between models into the summation problem of sampling point height difference. Considering the mean deviation and variance in multiple directions of the sampling points, a method for calculating and evaluating the model fitting error is constructed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by rabbit and turbine.
