Paused 3D Printing to Embed Material in a 3D Printed Case

원문 (중국어)

Techniques for temporarily pausing a 3D printing operation to enable a non-printing material to be disposed in a region defined during the 3D printing operation are disclosed. A specification is accessed for a case that is to be 3D printed. Based on the specification, a 3D printer is used to fabricate an initial portion of the case. This fabrication process includes fabricating an insert region into which a non-printing material can be disposed. After at least a portion of the insert region has been fabricated, the fabrication process is temporarily paused. After the non-printing material has been disposed in the insert region, the fabrication process is resumed.
