Multi-axis additive manufacturing involves high flexibility in material deposition along dynamically varied directions by utilizing three parallel axes and two rotational axes. However, the critical issues of singularity on rotational axes and collision avoidance need to be addressed in motion planning to ensure high quality fabrication results. A comprehensive motion planning method is proposed to tackle singularity and collision problems, enhancing the motion and fabrication quality in multi-axis additive manufacturing.
Multi-axis additive manufacturing enables high flexibility of material deposition along dynamically varied directions. The Cartesian motion platforms of these machines include three parallel axes and two rotational axes. Singularity on rotational axes is a critical issue to be tackled in motion planning for ensuring high quality of manufacturing results. The highly nonlinear mapping in the singular region can convert a smooth toolpath with uniformly sampled waypoints defined in the model coordinate system into a highly discontinuous motion in the machine coordinate system, which leads to over-extrusion/under-extrusion of materials in filament-based additive manufacturing. The problem is challenging as both the maximal and the minimal speeds at the tip of a printer head must be controlled in motion. Moreover, collision may occur when sampling-based collision avoidance is employed. In this letter, we present a motion planning method to support the manufacturing realization of designed toolpaths for multi-axis additive manufacturing. Problems of singularity and collision are considered in an integrated manner to improve the motion therefore the quality of fabrication.
