Evaluating the stability of three-dimensional models

Abstract:

A three-dimensional (3D) modeling application is configured to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) that notifies a user whether a 3D model represents a stable, marginally stable, or unstable object. The 3D modeling application includes a stability module that determines the stability of the object based upon the 3D model. Advantageously, the user may ensure that an object will be stable, before printing the object with a 3D printer.
