Abstract
This study developed a 3D print modeling system that allows general users to operate only through a simple friendly user interface, which can directly generate G-code files, and does not need to convert the model in different software. This system is currently enable to create pottery design in special surface textures called EZ-print, a Transparent String-like pottery design system. This system based on “from code to design” process. It uses “toolpath modeling” method to replace surface/solid modeling method in order to skip the slicing operation in Slicer Software. Therefore, it can generate G-code files directly in EZ-print system and 3D print the model easily.
