Improving 3D printing of garments by using HPC Cloud

3D garment printing is a technology that isexperiencing rapid development, and more and moregarments are being printed on 3D printers. Advancedprocesses such as Selective Laser Sintering and PolyJet 3Dprinting are used. However, 3D printing of clothes stillexperiences some disadvantages, of which the biggest is theslow 3D printing speed and usually a small printing area of3D printers. The novel, large multi-head printers cansignificantly increase the printing speed, but such printersrequire an additional step to prepare given 3D models thatincrease. However, pre-processing time grows exponentiallywith the number of printer heads, therefore computerresources that exceed the capabilities of a single workstationare required to prepare a printout. This implies the use ofHPC resources, and because of its flexibility, lower cost andease of use, HPC Cloud is optimal platform for such jobs. Wehave shown that the structure of these jobs fits perfectly inthe HPC Cloud environment.
