Hello, everyone.

I am looking for a way to calculate the support volume of an object by using python scripts.
The support volume is the volume of empty below space for an object. In 3D printing, the support structure to sustain an object shape is placed in the empty below space. The red part is the support volume in the attached figure.
Please let me know any methods, references, hints, or comments if you have any ideas.
