Abstract
Methods of optimizing additive manufacturing processes for improved efficiencies and accuracies, particularly by simplifying the user interface portions of the processes. The methods use path-finding calculations, such as vector fields, vector trails, and texture maps, to form accurate models from which replica composite objects can be printed, without requiring complex parameter inputs and calculations from the user. The methods measure and plot vector fields by considering the location of a particle within the volume of an object at various points of time to develop a strand-like model that is used to manufacture a replica object.
