Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  B  Y | IPC B  G

Claim 11:
12. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein that, in response to being executed on a computing device, cause the computing device to:
receive, by a parts-packing software, a request for a display of a plurality of parts in a new build volume;
receive, by the parts packing software, a build volume comprising images of the plurality of parts and constraints, wherein at least some of the images are identical to one another, wherein the build volume is to be used during additive manufacture of the plurality of parts, and wherein the constraints include an orientation for identical parts making up the build volume;
identify at least two parts of the plurality of parts in the build volume that are stackable;
determine, by the parts packing software, a modified build volume by moving the at least two parts so as to be disposed atop one another based on a packing density, a packing z-height, and the one or more constraints and
stacked in the build volume;

generate, by the parts packing software, a new build volume based on the modified build volume; and
automatically display the plurality of parts via the user interface on a screen of a computing device based on the new build volume.
