Abstract
As the various applications of Layered Manufacturing (LM) expand from just prototyping, the geometric accuracy issues become more prominent. Variable thickness, or adaptive, slicing aides in reducing a major source of geometric inaccuracy, the staircase effect. This paper develops a procedure for the adaptive slicing of a parametrizable algebraic surface to be manufactured by an LM process. An implemented example of the procedure is presented.
