Method and device for acquiring volume of structure, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and printer

A device for acquiring a volume of a structure, the device comprising:

• a memory and a processor coupled to the memory,
• wherein the memory stores one or more sets of program codes executed by the processor, and the processor is configured to:
• for a model placed on a specified plane, determine at least one reference plane in a direction parallel to the specified plane,
• for the at least one reference plane, obtain at least one vertical projection area by acquiring a vertical projection area of the model above each reference plane projected on a corresponding reference plane,
• according to the at least one vertical projection area, obtain a total volume, and
• according to the total volume and a volume of the model, obtain the volume of a supporting structure of the model.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, containing a computer instruction, and the computer instruction is configured to enable a computer to perform:

• for a model placed on a specified plane, determining at least one reference plane in a direction parallel to the specified plane;
• for the at least one reference plane, obtaining at least one vertical projection area by acquiring a vertical projection area of the model above each reference plane projected on a corresponding reference plane;
• according to the at least one vertical projection area, obtaining a total volume;
• and
• according to the total volume and a volume of the model, obtaining the volume of a supporting structure of the model.
