This paper presents an adaptive tool path generation method for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). The proposed method consists of three steps. First, an adaptive slicing considering both surface quality and building time is proposed for following tool path generation. Second, a hybrid tool path strategy is introduced to improve the boundary contours accuracy. This step is an adaptive process to choose an appropriate proportional relationship between the two types of tool paths according to the specific fabrication requirements. For further improvement, a tool path adjustment is employed on the original tool paths. A case study of a sliced layer is used to verify the feasibility and advantage of the proposed method.

Based on analyzing the existing algorithms, a novel tool path generation of 2D contour considering stock boundary is presented. Firstly the boundary points of stock are obtained by three-dimensional measuring machine. And the boundary curve is constructed by method of features identifying. The stock boundary is offset toward outside with tool diameter. An enclosed region is formed between the contour curves and the offset curves of stock boundary. The tool path is generated by form of parallel spiral by offsetting the stock boundary in the enclosed region. Finally the validity of present method is demonstrated by an example.
