Abstract:
The method includes: obtaining a first file of a computer-aided design (CAD) application; identifying, within the first file, a first 3D shape associated with a 3D infill pattern; generating a second file including: a first section specifying the 3D infill pattern; and a second section including instructions describing the first 3D shape filled with multiple instances of the 3D infill pattern by referencing the first section. The first section and the second section are separate in the second file.
