Title: Automated mask creation from a 3D model using Faethm.

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/934856· OSTI ID:934856

We have developed and implemented a method which given a three-dimensional object can infer from topology the two-dimensional masks needed to produce that object with surface micro-machining. The masks produced by this design tool can be generic, process independent masks, or if given process constraints, specific for a target process. This design tool calculates the two-dimensional mask set required to produce a given three-dimensional model by investigating the vertical topology of the model.
