Claim 9:
10. A method for additively manufacturing a structure, comprising:
slicing a virtual model of the structure into a plurality of layers;
applying at least one infill pattern to each of the plurality of layers;
distributing a plurality of points along lines of the at least one infill pattern;
sequentially grouping the plurality of points into at least one path;
generating a vector normal to the path at each of the plurality of points;
examining a rate of change between at least two of the vectors normal to the at least one path;
comparing the rate of change with a threshold rate of change;
selectively filtering the points based on the comparison; and
causing the additive manufacturing machine to place a matrix coated continuous reinforcement along the at least one path.
