Hi, I would like to ask how to do a ram up script for the curves to connect together into one looping path for printing on ABB robot. Below is the affect I want. Thanks!!! [flower vase]

Chow, the solution I presented effectively creates the vase mode geometry. On another note, I am curious as to why the nozzle cannot just be perpendicular to the XY plane while printing? There is a perp frame component in grasshopper, not sure if that is what you need. Just start typing “frame” a…

they don’t look “very natural” because you supplied planar section curves only, which describe very well what happens on each of those planes, but gives no information whatsoever about what happens in-between them :slight_smile: so, in order to invent a trajectory about which we have no info (I mea…

Alright thanks for the explanation, now I currently facing a problem is that my robot TCP (Tool Center Point) is not perpendicular with the my print path, have any ideas to create plane perpendicular to the curve in grasshopper? Below the sketch of what I wish the robot move like. Thanks! [WhatsAp…

this might be an approach: [image] scarf_seam_base-concept (1)_Re_Re.gh (33.2 KB) I would very warmly suggest some beautiful and very insightful readings on the topic, such as Advanced 3D Printing with Grasshopper®: Clay and FDM which you can easily find for instance Amazon that book really mad…

Do you have a slicer program that has Vase mode? That’s exactly what you need to make the kind of motion you want.

I think I would project a helix onto the surface created by those curves. Much cleaner. Helix might be the wrong word for this since a helix projected onto a flat plane (like is used in Flow along Surface) are just curves, [image] If I did a lot of these, I would then create a GrassHopper defin…

[image] T Reischl: Flow along Surface Alright will get the book from Amazon, thanks for help always.

I think we don’t have the Vase mode, as the slicer program is created self-made just for robot to operate, not from the Bamboo studio.

Yes, current movement is always fixed in the vertical position. But some of the printing will be better looking when the robot arm is moving like the video. [image] [image]

Hi, may I ask how to do an infill for this top parts of boulders to make it like a full solid. The width of the layers are 65mm. And need to all connected in one loop for robot printing purpose. [image] Top part of boulder.3dm (191.0 KB)
