Abstract
A method for additive manufacturing an object is disclosed. The method includes converting an encoded file for a set of components to a text-based component toolpath file; creating and encoding a set of serialization (SN) files for characters in a part marking geometry; and converting encoded SN files to a set of text-based SN toolpath files. The method then generates a combined print file from the component toolpath file and the SN toolpath files to include both component and SN scan paths, wherein generating includes combining location and part marking details from a part SN location script with SN geometries from the SN toolpath files to create a modified SN toolpath file for a part marking.
