contents In simulation-based engineering design with time-consuming simulators, Gaussian process (GP) models are widely used as fast emulators to speed up the design optimization process. In its most commonly used form, the input of GP is a simple list of design parameters. With rapid development of additive manufacturing (also known as 3D printing), design inputs with 2D/3D spatial information become prevalent in some applications, for example, neighboring relations between pixels/voxels and material distributions in heterogeneous materials. Such spatial information, vital to 3D printed designs, is hard to incorporate into existing GP models with common kernels such as squared exponential or Matérn. In this work, we propose to embed a generalized distance measure into a GP kernel, offering a novel and convenient technique to incorporate spatial information from freeform 3D printed designs into the GP framework. The proposed method allows complex design problems for 3D printed objects to take advantage of a plethora of tools available from the GP surrogate-based simulation optimization such as designed experiments and GP-based optimizations including Bayesian optimization. We investigate the properties of the proposed method and illustrate its performance by several numerical examples of 3D printed antennas. The dataset is publicly available at: https://github.com/xichennn/GP_dataset.
