Abstract
Described herein is a system and method system for fabricating a three-dimensional object using a plurality of extruders. Information including two-dimensional segments of a layer of a three-dimensional object to be fabricated using the plurality of extruders is received. Closed contour, two-dimensional polygons are computed based on the two-dimensional segments. Tool path(s) are generated based on the computed closed contour two-dimensional polygons. The generated tool path(s) are provided to a fabrication apparatus.
