3D-Printing Structures on Existing Surfaces



Abstract
3D printing technology offers endless possibilities, one of which is printing structures onto existing surfaces. This master's thesis focuses on developing an algorithm to generate G-code for printing structures onto existing surfaces. Depending on the desired difficulty level, the thesis tackles two scenarios: where the existing surface is known and where the existing surface must be measured using tools such as Lidar or sensor. The developed system is then implemented into an open-source slicer program, marking a significant advancement in the 3D printing field.
