FIG. 3.

(a) Generation of print paths using a target away from (left) and in the vicinity of (right) the local maximum. (b) Generation of print paths on a mesh that contains a handle without splitting the loop (left) and after splitting the loop (right). An indication of the properties of the interpolating distance fields is given by the visualization of the magnitude of their gradient in color scale, which is calculated per face for t = 0.5, showing the speed with which the underlying distance field is evolving; as this decreases, two neighboring isocontours become further apart.
