In an article recently published in the journal Additive Manufacturing, authors proposed a path planning algorithm for the printhead of fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer to generate a single-stroke path and continuously print the shape without the need for repetitive filament cutting for every layer. The fabricated samples were also characterized by the authors using X-ray computed tomography (CT).
