Software platform for generation of process-specific GCode for droplet generators
Project title
Industry project: „Platform for generation of process-specific GCode for droplet generators"
Goal
Development of a platform for generation and optimization of efficient slicing alglorthms
Contact
M.Sc. Andreas Schröffer (wiss. Mitarbeiter)
Application
Data processing from a STL file to process specific GCode for a new droplet based additive manufacturing system
Research topic
Tool path generating and optimization for additive manufacturing systems
State of the art
Hatching algorithms and nearest neighbour heuristics to optimize fabriation time
Drawbacks of the State of the Art
Limitations to take influence on component properties, such as mechanical strength, surfarce quality or dimensional accuracy
Concept
MATLAB Library based on the SG-Lib as integrated development environment (IDE) for design, simulation and optimization of novel fabrication approaches
Current Results
First toolbox version with three integrated novel tool path planning approaches
