METHOD FOR BUILDING THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS WITH EXTRUSION-BASED LAYERED DEPOSITION SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method of forming a three-dimensional object using an extrusion-based layered deposition system, the method comprising generating a deposition path in a region having dimensions defined by a previously generated build path for building at least a portion of a layer of the three-dimensional object, wherein the deposition path comprises deposition rates that are configured to vary based on the dimensions of the region.

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.

15. A method of forming a three-dimensional object using an extrusion-based layered deposition system, the method comprising:
-
providing a build path based on a first road width resolution, the build path defining a region having dimensions that are smaller than the first road width resolution along at least one axis; and generating a plurality of vertices for a deposition path in the region, wherein each of the plurality of vertices includes data comprising a coordinate location and a deposition rate, the deposition rate being based on the dimensions of the region at the coordinate location. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
