Method and apparatus for processing a 3D printing path
By obtaining the starting point and reference point of the 3D printer, a smooth, straight-line printing path is generated, which solves the problems of low printer path planning efficiency and model surface protrusion caused by small line segments of the 3D model slice outline, and achieves a more efficient and smoother printing process.

Abstract
This invention discloses a method and apparatus for processing 3D printing paths. It includes: controlling a 3D printer to start from a starting point; determining the printing points to be printed during the 3D printing process based on the area enclosed between the starting point and a reference point; sequentially connecting the starting point and the printing points to be printed with smooth straight lines to generate a printing path; and controlling the 3D printer to perform the 3D printing operation based on the printing path to obtain the target object. This effectively reduces the number of line segments forming the 3D model of the target object, avoiding frequent pauses at the beginning and end of line segments during the printing process, and preventing prolonged energy radiation and surface protrusions on the 3D printed model caused by pauses. By reducing the frequency of pauses, printing becomes smoother, improving printing efficiency, and reducing algorithm complexity, it simplifies the algorithm for the 3D printer.
