Due to the wide diffusion of 3D printing technologies, geometric algorithms for Additive
Manufacturing are being invented at an impressive speed. Each single step along the …

An assembly refers to a collection of parts joined together to achieve a specific form and/or
functionality. Designing assemblies is a non‐trivial task as a slight local modification on a …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is poised to bring about a revolution in the way products are
designed, manufactured, and distributed to end users. This technology has gained …

This paper presents a new method to fabricate 3D models on a robotic printing system
equipped with multi-axis motion. Materials are accumulated inside the volume along curved …

We introduce an optimization framework for the reduction of support structures required by
3D printers based on Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology. The printers need to …

3D printers have become popular in recent years and enable fabrication of custom objects
for home users. However, the cost of the material used in printing remains high. In this …

While fabrication technologies have been in use in industry for several decades, expiring
patents have recently allowed the technology to spill over to technology-enthusiastic …

Digital fabrication devices exploit basic technologies in order to create tangible
reproductions of 3D digital models. Although current 3D printing pipelines still suffer from …

Abstract Traditionally Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a two-dimensional layer-by-layer
material deposition process which requires building the support structures along with the …

This paper presents a robotic system-RoboFDM that targets at printing 3D models without
support-structures, which is considered as the major restriction to the flexibility of 3D printing …
