Abstract
Systems and methods for additive manufacturing techniques for deposition layering in additive manufacturing techniques. Various embodiments are directed to processes for additive manufacturing using deposition layer patterns. In some embodiments, deposition layer pattens provide printed components with desired geometries. Individual deposition layer pattern within a printed component can vary between layers, in accordance with several embodiments.
Claims20
A method for depositing a layer pattern comprising:
- defining a perimeter pattern polygon, wherein the perimeter pattern polygon comprises a first portion and a second portion;
- depositing the first portion of the perimeter pattern polygon, wherein depositing the first portion of the perimeter pattern polygon comprises depositing a first tail portion outside the area defined by the perimeter pattern polygon, wherein the first tail portion extends from a start point on the first portion of the perimeter pattern polygon;
- depositing an in-fill pattern within an area defined by the perimeter pattern polygon, wherein depositing the in-fill pattern within the area defined by the perimeter pattern polygon ends near the start point;
- and
- depositing the second portion of the perimeter pattern polygon, wherein depositing the second portion of the perimeter pattern polygon comprises depositing a second tail portion outside the area defined by the perimeter pattern polygon, wherein the second tail portion extends from an end point on the second portion of the perimeter pattern polygon.

A system for weld path planning comprising:
- a controller comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory comprises an application configured to direct the processor to perform a method for determining a layer pattern comprising:
- determining a perimeter pattern, comprising a first portion and a second portion;
- and
- determining an in-fill pattern within an area defined by the perimeter pattern;
- wherein the layer pattern is a portion of a weld path plan that runs continuously from the first portion into the in-fill pattern and from the in-fill pattern into the second portion.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a controller comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory comprises an application configured to direct the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- determining a plurality of layer patterns, wherein each layer pattern comprises a continuous deposition, wherein each layer pattern comprises:
- a perimeter pattern, comprising a first portion and a second portion;
- and
- an in-fill pattern within an area defined by the perimeter pattern, wherein the in-fill pattern comprises a plurality of in-fill lines and a plurality of turn regions, and wherein the in-fill lines are approximately parallel;
- wherein the plurality of layer patterns are stacked, wherein a first layer pattern and a second layer pattern are adjacent in the stack, and wherein the in-fill lines of the first layer pattern are at an offset angle from the in-fill lines of the second layer pattern.
