Patent ID: 11170570

Abstract:
There is provided a method of generating instructions for manufacturing of a functionally graded material (FGM) object, comprising: providing geometric trivariate(s) defining geometry of FGM object, providing material trivariate(s) defining material properties of the FGM object, computing a volumetric representation of the FGM object that includes the geometric trivariate(s) and the material trivariate(s) spanning a same parametric domain, and computing code instructions for execution by a manufacturing device controller of a manufacturing device for manufacturing of the FGM object by: identifying locations within the boundaries defined by the geometric trivariate(s) of the volumetric representation, computing respective material value(s) for each of the locations according to the material trivariate(s) of the volumetric representation corresponding to the identified locations, and converting the locations from the parametric domain to the Euclidean space, wherein each of the locations in Euclidean space is associated with the respective material value(s).
