Arc Segments for Three-Dimensional Printers

Abstract

In example implementations, a method executed by a processor is provided. The method divides a computer generated three dimensional (3D) model of an object to be printed into a plurality of two dimensional slices. A plurality of arc segments to describe curved surfaces of each one of the plurality of two dimensional slices is estimated. Print instructions are generated that include the plurality of arc segments for each one of the plurality of two dimensional slices. The method loads the print instructions on a 3D printer to print the object in accordance with the print instructions.
