Abstract
In an aspect, infilling includes one or more the following characteristics: (i) adjacent rows and columns, which may be overlapping or non-overlapping; (ii) no sharp angle turns, i.e., no turns of ninety degree or less; and (iii) intersecting between infill patterns occurs from layer to layer (i.e., at offset z-axis positions). An infilling technique may also or instead include rotating the infill pattern about ninety degrees in some alternating fashion from layer to layer.
