Printing Orientation Optimization

Printing Orientation Optimization is a computational method in additive manufacturing that determines the optimal build orientation of a 3D printed part to minimize support structures, reduce surface roughness, and improve mechanical properties, distinguishing itself from other toolpath generation techniques by focusing specifically on the global orientation of the part relative to the printing process.
