The invention discloses an interlayer staggered stacking path
planning method for additive manufacturing. Obtaining a filling area contour of a model plane slice polygon, calculating a
feature vector, and determining a grid arrangement direction, a starting point and a starting filling
line segment; searching an adjacent
line segment set connected with the end point of the previous
line segment on the lower layer or the upper layer, marking all the adjacent line segments, selecting a
transition line segment adjacent to the line segment, and if the other layer of
branch line segments connected with the
transition line segment are not marked, taking the
transition line segment as the next line segment, and taking the transition line segment as the next line segment; and connecting the end points of the line segments end to end to form a continuous line segment as a filling
path line formed by final planning until the other layer of
branch line segments connected with all the adjacent transition line segments are marked. According to the method, in the additive manufacturing process, the number of short paths and idle strokes can be reduced, the frequency of frequent starting and stopping is reduced, and the working efficiency is improved. And meanwhile, the excessive accumulation condition of materials at the intersection point and the molding
instability at the start-stop point are reduced.
