Possibly of Interest: paper on algorithms for computing support structures for 3D printing
Tue, 02/26/2013 - 15:25 — Robert McGrathI ran across this paper that explains one way to calculate support structures for 3D printing.

I found it relatively clear and easy to understand.
Of course, there are more than one way to skin this cat, so this isn't necessarily the way any given software works.
