Motion and Path Planning for Additive Manufacturing 1st Edition

Grab your copy of Motion and Path Planning for Additive Manufacturing, 1st Edition by Alex C. Roschli, Michael C. Borish, Abby K. Barnes, Thomas A. Feldhausen, Peter Wang, and Eric MacDonald — a definitive resource for engineers, researchers, and manufacturing professionals seeking to master the intersection of motion planning and additive manufacturing.

This practical, forward-looking guide opens with clear explanations of foundational concepts — kinematics, trajectory generation, collision avoidance, and toolpath strategies — then moves into advanced topics such as multi-axis printing, robotic-arm coordination, process-aware planning, and path optimization for improved surface finish and reduced build time. Rich with real-world case studies and algorithmic insights, the book connects theory to practice using examples relevant to industrial 3D printing, aerospace, medical devices, and bespoke manufacturing environments across North America, Europe, and Asia.

Readers will gain actionable methods to minimize supports, reduce defects, and translate CAD intent to efficient G-code and controller commands. Whether you’re a manufacturing engineer optimizing production, a researcher developing novel motion algorithms, or an educator designing an AM course, this title provides the tools and perspectives needed to advance productivity and innovation.

Concise, authoritative, and accessible, Motion and Path Planning for Additive Manufacturing is an essential addition to professional libraries and academic syllabi.
