Systems and methods for conformal additive manufacturing are disclosed. In particular, systems and methods are disclosed utilizing variable offset curves and/or a manipulated solution to Laplace's equation to generate layers between an initial boundary and a desired boundary.

Systems and methods for conformal additive manufacturing

A method of making an antifouling article includes providing a mold having a mold cavity and a mold surface for defining an article. The method also includes applying a mold release material to the mold surface. The method further includes coating the mold surface with a plurality of metallic powder particles comprising an antifouling agent. Still further, the method includes filling the mold with a curable polymeric material. Yet further, the method includes curing the polymeric material and forming an article having a surface defined by the mold surface, the surface of the article having the plurality of metallic powder particles disposed thereon and comprising an antifouling coating.
