Motion technique for deposition processes to manufacture leading edge protective sheaths

A machine-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed cause a processor of a robotic additive applicator device to:

• receive primary edges data of a surface of a three-dimensional (3D) object;
• calculate a number of raster lines for applying an additive deposition on the surface;
• map a raster pattern to the surface of the 3D object;
• calculate surface normal and rotational angles along the raster lines;
• calculate a nozzle velocity of an additive application used for producing the additive deposition on the surface;
• identify curvature effects of the 3D object;
• and
• establish an order of performing passes of the additive deposition on the surface based on a selected direction for performing the additive deposition and a consideration of a residual stress profile of a resulting deposit
• wherein the machine-readable storage medium is limited to non-transitory mediums.
