Abstract

The widespread use of 3D printers has made it possible to create 3D objects easily at home. However, if a 3D model is created without considering the position of the center of gravity, the output 3D object may not be able to stand on its own. In such cases, it is necessary to adjust the 3D model so that it can stand on its own using 3D modeling software again. However, this process requires a lot of knowledge and experience with 3D modeling software. The purpose of this research is to calculate the density of the output 3D object and adjust the center of gravity of the 3D model that cannot stand on its own. This eliminates the need to re-edit the 3D model. In addition, there is no need to change the impression of the 3D model because there is no need for parts to assist the model to stand on its own.
