The pipeline starts searching for the ideal alignment of the 3D model with the brick grid. It then employs a novel approach for shape "legolization" using a outside-in heuristic to limit critical configuration, and separates an external shell and an internal part. Finally, it exploits shape booleans to create the external custom parts to be 3D printed.Computing methodologiesShape modelingApplied computingComputeraided design10.2312/stag.20211487175-179
