Abstract: In 3D printing methods such as FDM, the direction of printing dominates the appearance and the 
nature of the printed objects. However, the direction cannot be specified in conventional 3D-printing 
methods. In this presentation, methods for designing and printing direction-specified 3D objects and 
the advantages of these methods are described.

Abstract: As well as in computer programming, both declarative and procedural methods should be 
available in industrial product design. However, design for 3D printing is mostly based on declarative CAD as well 
as other areas of product design. This presentation reports a method for generative (procedural) design.
