“…There is a lack of intersection between the layers, which will produce plenty of internal porosity. Using continuous path patterns, such as the Zigzag curve [ 21 ] and the Hilbert curve [ 22 ], alternately for each adjacent area may improve the connection strength between layers, but it will increase the complexity of the path planning algorithm. The current method needs to be further expanded to adapt to different geometries.…”

“…In continuous fiber-reinforced printing, the path planning will also affect the surface roughness, part strength, and manufacturability. A traditional 2D fill pattern, such as the Zigzag curve [ 21 ] and the Hilbert curve [ 22 ], can also be employed as optional approaches because they can guarantee continuity of the path. In the work from Tian et al [ 23 ], the Zigzag fill pattern is utilized for recycling of continuous CFRTPCs.…”

Continuous fiber-reinforced manufacturing has many advantages, but the fabrication cost is high and its process is difficult to control. This paper presents a method for printing fiber-reinforced composite on the common fused filament fabrication (FFF) platform. Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers are used as printing materials. A spatial continuous toolpath planning strategy is employed to reduce the workload of post-processing without cutting the fiber. Experimental results show that this process not only enables the printing of models with complex geometric shapes but also supports material recycling and reuse. A material recovery rate of 100% for continuous PET fiber and 83% for PLA were achieved for a better environmental impact. Mechanical tests show that the maximum tensile strength of continuous PET fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites (PFRTPCs) is increased by 117.8% when compared to polyamide-66 (PA66).

Roughing processes create workpieces that are similar to actual forms in short periods of time. However, the current method, which involves either three-axis or five-axis machines, is limited in regards to workpiece feed accessibility. Often, significant amounts of material are left on workpieces that can be removed. This paper presents a solution to this issue. By conducting a Close Bouded Volume (CBV) evaluation of an area for which a roughing process can be used, a tool path can be formed with a consideration of tool-path length. It can be done by using a point cloud as a cutter contact (CC) point. Tool orientations can be calculated based on a vector operation from a CC point in a CBV area to the nearest and highest CC point outside the CBV area. By orienting each tool on a formed CC point, interference detection can be used to avoid collisions and gouges that occur between feeds and workpieces on the tool path. Tool interference avoidance can be applied using rotation and translation methods until tools are free from interference. Then, from a CC point that is already free of interference, the avoidance can be tested using an actual rough machining process with a five-axis milling machine. According to this study's results, volume increases can be obtained in roughing so residual materials on workpieces can be reduced. Thus, this method improves disposal processes for residual materials. Moreover, it increases the efficacy of roughing processes.
