#Rhino 6 key frame series
Inspired by the ubiquitous key-framing technique in animation, where an input of limited degrees of freedom is used to describe a complex behavior, we propose a method to generate non-planar layered print paths subject to the input of the designer, by specifying a series of target curves on the surface of a mesh.
However, this potential is often not fully realized due to the various challenges associated with the design of feasible non-planar print paths. The advent of robotic arms has created great potential in the 3D printing industry for the realization of non-planar print paths that allow transitioning between different orientations during the print. We present a method to design non-planar layered print paths for robotic fused deposition modeling (FDM) printing of single-shell surfaces.
