Zusammenfassung:	Methods and systems for additive manufacturing are disclosed, the methods and systems comprising reducing the amount of support material used, by one or more methods, including inclusion of part material voxels and air voxels within the support regions, using a lattice of part material within support regions, printing one or more skin layers and boundary layers to support the part geometry and surface, and printing support layers in a drafted manner to reduce support material.
