Abstract
Systems and methods for designing and manufacturing an additive manufacturing (AM) model. A method includes computing a wedge plane and initial toolpath for an AMmodel based on a breaking angle. The method includes trimming an excess toolpath of the AM model using a breaking plane. The method includes building the toolpath along the normal of a first layer and trimming based on a next layer. The method includes building a next wedge of the toolpath in the direction of a wedge plane used to trim a previous wedge The method includes storing the toolpath.
