    摘要: Methods and associated systems and apparatus are disclosed for determining a tool path for use in additively manufacturing a structure. The methods may include receiving data that at least partially defines a plurality of intersecting elongate elements forming a layer of the structure, and determining, based on the received data, a graph structure comprising a plurality of edges each representing one of the plurality of intersecting elongate elements, and a node representing an intersection of at least two of the plurality of intersecting elongate elements. The method may also include determining a plurality of regions of the structure based on the graph structure, each region comprising one or more elongate elements, and generating a plurality of tool paths for each of the plurality of regions.

    摘要: Methods and associated apparatus for determining a 3-dimensional tool path for use in additively manufacturing a 3-dimensional layer of a structure. The method may include receiving 3-dimensional layer data defining at least part of the 3-dimensional layer of the structure. The method may include determining a mapping function. The method may include applying the mapping function to the 3-dimensional layer data to generate 2-dimensional layer data. The method may include generating a 2-dimensional tool path based on the 2-dimensional layer data. The method may include applying the mapping function to the 2-dimensional tool path to generate a 3-dimensional tool path.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for manufacturing a joint. The method may include depositing a first plurality of paths within a first layer. Each of the first plurality of paths may have a center portion, a first portion extending away from the center portion to at least partially form a first branch, and a second portion integral extending away from the center portion opposite the first portion to at least partially form a second branch. The method may further include depositing a second plurality of paths primarily within the first layer. Each of the second plurality of paths may have a center portion, and a first portion extending away from the center portion to at least partially form a third branch of the joint. The second plurality of paths may cross over and be bonded to the first plurality of paths to form spaced-apart bumps that extend into a second layer.
