An Overview of STL Model Offset

Abstract:

The offset models of STL (Stereo Lithography) are useful in many applications such as interference-free tool path generation in numerical control machining, hollow or shelled model generation in rapid prototyping. So the methods for STL model offset are very important. In the paper, an overview of the STL models offset methods is presented in brief.
