Efficient Path Planning of Secondary Additive Manufacturing Operations

We have designed a path planner for an additive manufacturing (AM) prototype that consists of two robotic arms which collaborate on a single part. Theoretically, with two nozzle equipped arms, a part can be 3D printed twice as fast. Moreover, equipping the second robot with a machining tool enables...
