3D printing, fused filament fabrication, represents the most commercial form of growing
additive technology. It has disadvantages such as long printing times and redundant
material in the form of support structures. The method of using a multi-axis robotic
manipulator aims to improve the mentioned problems. The approach we have chosen
to study these weaknesses is a review of theory, existing experiments, and an attempt
to simulate motion by reversing the extruder and work plate. We reviewed the existing
practical ways of 3D printing with static filament extrusion layout and took a closer
look at the algorithms that make this possible. With the acquired new knowledge,
we successfully transferred the given system to the SprutCam software environment
and performed an approximation of motion simulation, where we aimed for printing
without support structures and with a shorter printing time.
