<http://www.cnbeta.com/articles/356585.htm>

Richard Zhang, a professor of computer science at Fraser University in Canada, and Ruizhen Hu, a visiting PhD from China's Zhejiang University, said they had developed the world's first cone-part algorithm to "decompose 3D objects". The most important feature of the algorithm is the super efficient "0 waste" of 3D printing materials. The cone (pyramid) has a flat base and a "triangular edge". The algorithm also reduces the waste of printing material while saving time.
