我们将展示如何将复杂系统的模型（如2D元胞自动机）转换为3D打印对象。我们的方法考虑到了3D打印工艺和材料固有的局限性。我们的方法使这项任务的大部分自动化，绕过了CAD软件的使用和手动设计的需要。作为概念验证，成功打印了一个代表修改后的森林火灾模型的物理对象。与这里开发的方法类似的自动转换方法可用于创建用于研究、演示和教学、推广或仅仅用于审美愉悦的对象。由于我们的输出可以触摸，它们可能对视力残疾者特别有用。
We show how to convert models of complex systems such as 2D cellular automata into a 3D printed object. Our method takes into account the limitations inherent to 3D printing processes and materials. Our approach automates the greater part of this task, bypassing the use of CAD software and the need for manual design. As a proof of concept, a physical object representing a modified forest fire model was successfully printed. Automated conversion methods similar to the ones developed here can be used to create objects for research, for demonstration and teaching, for outreach, or simply for aesthetic pleasure. As our outputs can be touched, they may be particularly useful for those with visual disabilities.
