Abstract
Additive manufacturing builds physical objects by accumulating layers of solidified material. This is typically done with planar layers. Fused filament printers however have the capability to extrude material along 3D curves, leading to the idea of depositing in a non-planar fashion. In this paper we introduce a novel algorithm for this purpose, targeting simplicity, robustness and efficiency. Our method interpolates curved slicing surfaces between two top and bottom slicing surfaces, optimized to align with the object curvatures. These slicing surfaces are intersected with the input model to extract non-planar layers and curved deposition trajectories. We further orient trajectories according to the object's curvatures, improving deposition.
