Abstract
A system and method is provided for performing adaptive modification of rapid prototyping build files. The method includes the step of reading a rapid prototyping build file that stores a digital description of a three dimensional object. The invention also includes the operation of selecting a build file correction algorithm from a plurality of build file correction algorithms. Defects in the rapid prototyping build file are identified and these defects are then corrected based on the selected build file correction algorithm.
