Abstract

3D garment printing is a technology that is experiencing rapid development, and more and more garments are being printed on 3D printers. Advanced processes such as Selective Laser Sintering and PolyJet 3Dprinting are used. However, 3D printing of clothes still experiences some disadvantages, of which the biggest is the slow 3D printing speed and usually a small printing area of3D printers. The novel, large multi-head printers can significantly increase the printing speed, but such printers require an additional step to prepare given 3D models that increase. However, pre-processing time grows exponentially with the number of printer heads, therefore computer resources that exceed the capabilities of a single workstation are required to prepare a printout. This implies the use of HPC resources, and because of its flexibility, lower cost and ease of use, HPC Cloud is the optimal platform for such jobs. We have shown that the structure of these jobs fits perfectly in the HPC Cloud environment.
