Fundamental Path Optimization Strategies for Extrusion-based Additive Manufacturing
Extrusion-based additive manufacturing processes begin with a software program, called a slicer, that generates layer geometry and fits toolpaths to each layer to define where material is to be extruded or deposited. Before the toolpaths are output as g-code for the additive manufacturing system to execute, the toolpaths should be optimized. Many complex optimization appro…

A novel approach for adaptive skeleton toolpath generation
Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing manufacturing through the integration of automation and real-time data sharing in cyber-physical systems. At the forefront of this revolution is large-format additive manufacturing. In large-format printing, parts are often designed to be an even number of beads wide to produce a completely dense part. However, voids can still arise. This is…

Shifting Layer Heights for Closed-Loop Contours in Additive Manufacturing
Traditional slicing for 3D printing involves a planar cross-sectioning process to create layers. These layers are stacked one on top of the next representing a butt-joint, which is typically the weakest direction for loading a 3D printed part. Because the layers are printed sequentially, no material or reinforcement connects from one layer to the next. This clean layer lin…
