Motion and Path Planning for Additive Manufacturing

Motion and Path Planning for Additive Manufacturing educates users about the variety of kinematic arrangements and motion systems available in additive manufacturing. This book serves to outline the entire toolpath planning process needed for going from solid body CAD model to g-code that a 3D printer can use to construct a part. Linear motions, arc and spline motions, cross-sectioning, planar slicing, non-planar slicing, and slicing for DED, concrete and thermoset are each covered. Engineers, researchers, and designers in the additive manufacturing field can use this book as a reference that covers the entire slicing process at length as well as a resource guide that explains every step, and the underlying math, as to what is happening and why to create toolpaths. Outlines the entire toolpath planning process required to go from solid body CAD model to g-code that a 3D printer can then use to construct a part Highlights all the available kinematic arrangements for motion systems in additive manufacturing as well as the advantages and risks of each method Explains the full slicing process from solid body to g-code Provides an up-to-date explanation of advancements in toolpath planning and state-of-the-art slicing processes using real-time data collection INDICE: 1.
