Patent attributes
A method and system are provided for data driven shrinkage compensation. The method includes calculating, by at least one processor operatively coupled to a memory device, one or more dimensions of an object modeled in a file from one or more directional strands disposed between facets of one or more predetermined facet pairs. The method further includes predicting, by the processor, dimensional changes in the one or more directional strands as a result of the fabrication of the object using an additive manufacturing process based on a shape shrinkage model. The method further includes correcting, by the processor, coordinate data of at least one facet of the one or more predetermined facet pairs to compensate for the one or more predicted dimensional changes in the one or more directional strands.
