ABSTRACT:
A system and method for toolpath creation is provided. The method includes exporting CAD defined 3-D geometry to a slicing module; slicing the 3-D geometry creating a set of 2-D patterns representing the 3-D geometry; generating vector code from the set of 2-D patterns; and translating the vector code to machine code.
