Three-dimensional printing using configurable movement tracks

A computer program product comprising a computer-readable memory that has computer-executable instructions stored thereupon, the computer-executable instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving data representing a 3D physical object by a processing device;
• controlling a 3D printing device to apply successive layers of a material by a printing head including a nozzle, wherein the controlling includes depositing at least one layer by:
• instructing a snake robot of a configurable track system to form a shape and define a movement track that corresponds to a movement profile aligned with the 3D model, moving the printing head along the movement track defined by the snake robot, and depositing the at least one layer via the nozzle as the printing head is moved along the movement track.
