Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a parts-packing software, a request for a display of images of a plurality of parts in a new build volume;
receiving, by the parts packing software, one or more constraints of a build volume via a user interface (UI), wherein the constraints include an orientation for identical parts making up the build volume, and wherein the build volume comprises images of the plurality of parts, at least some of which are identical to one another, the build volume be used during additive manufacture of the plurality of parts;
determining, by the parts packing software, the new build volume based on the build volume, a packing density, a packing z-height, and the one or more constraints, wherein the packing density relates to how densely packed the plurality of parts are within the new build volume, and
automatically displaying images of the plurality of parts in the new build volume via the user interface on a screen of a computing device based on the new build volume.
