| Abstract Scope |
Traditional extrusion 3D printing deposits material layer by layer on the XY plane with layer changes incrementing along the Z-axis. Angled printing is different in that the deposition plane is rotated about one or more of the three axes. Angled printing enables geometries to be constructed without support material and can enable production of large parts by taking advantage of the X and Y axes that are often longer than the Z axis on large industrial machines. Angled printing typically requires at least one additional motion axis to allow for rotation about the X- or Y-axis. Rotation axes can be expensive and add significant complexity. This paper will instead focus on fixed extruder modifications and adapted control and slicing systems to enable 45-degree printing on traditional gantry systems. These effective modifications have allowed for successful printing of large tools that would have previously required multiple prints. |
