A proof of concept system for the implementation of path planning strategies in the context of additive manufacturing of composites. Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey.

In AM processes, which can produce complex shapes layer by layer, the end-product presents anisotropic properties that depend mostly on the deposition trajectory. The problem is that there is a bottleneck in research and improvement of these properties, due to limitations on the deposition trajectory control. In the case of commercial systems, the end-product mechanical properties are not taken into consideration, and the limited selectable options impedes the designer’s tool-path strategies to be implemented. This thesis presents a proof of concept system integrated by an adapted machine system and a software framework that allows the designer to implement and test the path planning strategies for the deposition trajectory control. An overview of the hardware conditioning is explained, and a proof of concept strategy is proposed for increasing the deposition trajectory continuity, as a proof of use of the system in the context of additive manufacturing of composites.TextoengopenAccesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0INGENIERÍA Y TECNOLOGÍA::CIENCIAS TECNOLÓGICAS::TECNOLOGÍA INDUSTRIAL::PROCESOS INDUSTRIALESTechnologyTesis de maestríaCompositesProof of conceptAdditive ManufacturingCNCMachinekitBBB928525
