DEVELOPMENT OF A METHOD OF ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING BY MATERIAL EXTRUSION ALONG THREE-DIMENSIONAL CURVES
A method of additive manufacturing (AM) for the extrusion of material along three-dimensional curves is proposed as an alternative to conventional methods of layer-based AM for the manufacture of components designed using topology optimisation. The objectives of the study are to formulate a toolpath...
