Abstract
A method is disclosed for additively manufacturing a structure. The method may include generating a vector field through a 3D virtual model, and slicing the virtual model into a plurality of layers that are aligned with the vector field. The method may also include generating at least one tool path for at least one of the plurality of layers, and causing an additive manufacturing machine to deposit a material along the at least one tool path.
