Curved Layer Fused Filament Fabrication Using Automated Toolpath Generation. [PDF]
3D Print Addit Manuf, 2016 An automated method for the generation of curved layer toolpaths is demonstrated to produce 3D printed components with improved aesthetic and structural properties using fused filament fabrication printing. Three case studies are shown, which demonstrate the ability of the G-code generating algorithm to resolve concave and convex structures.
