As layers misalign with the curvature, they incur structural d eficiencies, while the curved shells require large support structures, typ ically using more material than the part itself.\n\nWe propose a computati onal framework for optimizing the internal structure of 3D printed plates such that they morph into a desired freeform shell when heated. This explo its the shrinkage effect of thermoplastics such as PLA, which stores inter nal stresses along the deposition directions. These stresses get released when the material is heated again above its glass transition temperature, causing anisotropic shrinkage that induces curvature.\n\nOur inverse desig n method takes as input a freeform surface and finds an optimized set of d eposition trajectories in each layer such that their anisotropic shrinkage deforms the plate into the prescribed surface geometry. We optimize for a continuous vector field that varies across the plate and within its thick ness. This lets us obtain both developable and doubly-curved surfaces. The algorithm then extracts a set of deposition paths from the vector field i n order to fabricate the flat plates on standard FFF printers. We validate our algorithm on freeform surfaces with non-trivial curvatures and topolo gies.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, Enhanced Access, Trade Exhibi tor, Experience Hall Exhibitor\n\n URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=papers_721&sess=sess209 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
