Abstract

System and method for additive manufacturing of an object with foam infill material is disclosed. The method includes, determining a shell portion of the object using a three-dimensional model of the object, determining one or more locations in the shell portion for providing access to an interior of the shell portion, determining a foam infill material for additive manufacturing based on one or more fill material characteristics, and determining an amount of the foam infill material needed to fill the interior of the shell portion. The method further includes, fabricating the shell portion of the object, depositing the amount of foam infill material at the one or more determined locations to fill the interior of the shell portion, and fabricating the shell portion of the object to complete fabrication of the object.
