1. A method of forming a three-dimensional object using an extrusion-based layered deposition system, the method comprising:
- generating a build path for building a layer of the three-dimensional object, wherein the build path defines a void region;
generating at least one intermediate path in the void region; and
generating a remnant path based at least in part on the at least one intermediate path.

Abstract
A method of forming a three-dimensional object using an extrusion-based layered deposition system, the method comprising generating a build path for building a layer of the three-dimensional object, where the build path defines a void region. The method further comprising generating at least one intermediate path in the void region, and generating a remnant path based at least in part on the at least one intermediate path.

9. A method of forming a three-dimensional object using an extrusion-based layered deposition system, the method comprising:
-
generating a build path for building a layer of the three-dimensional object, the build path being based on a first road width resolution;
identifying at least one void region in the build path; and
generating a remnant path in the void region, wherein the remnant path is based at least in part on a second road width resolution that is a higher resolution than the first road width resolution. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of forming a three-dimensional object using an extrusion-based layered deposition system, the method comprising:
-
generating a build path for building a layer of the three-dimensional object with a plurality of first deposition roads, wherein the build path defines a void region;
generating a remnant path in the void region for filling at least part of a cavity corresponding to the defined void region with a second deposition road having a road width that varies with dimensions of the void region. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
