Abstract
A method of 3D print modelling includes: obtaining a target virtual object for 3D printing, evaluating the target virtual object for 3D printing with respect to one or more printability criteria to detect whether the 3D printed model would have one or more predetermined undesirable physical characteristics, and if so, generating 3D printable model data defining a transparent matrix to be printed surrounding the 3D printed model of the target virtual object.
