Abstract
Recently, in CG research field, many studies on 3D printing have been done for efficient manufacturing and new application development. In this article, such research trends are introduced with recent research papers presented in ACM SIGGRAPH and SIGGRAPH Asia.
As for efficiency of 3D printing, shape optimization and structural strength improvement have been investigated. New application development includes various shape creation, fabrication of deformable shapes and mechanical structures, and control of optical characteristics.
In addition, as an author's original study, view dependent relief surfaces are introduced.
