Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for a multi-tool additive manufacturing system that executes in a three-dimensional build volume. In one aspect, a system includes a build platform; a support; a first robot coupled with the support and configured to operate in a build volume defined by the build platform, wherein the first robot includes a first additive manufacturing tool; a second robot coupled with the support and configured to operate in the build volume, wherein the second robot includes a second additive manufacturing tool; wherein the first robot and the second robot are programmed to coordinate simultaneous application; and wherein a first tool path of the first additive manufacturing tool in the first region abuts or overlaps with a second tool path of the second additive manufacturing tool in the second region so as to form a bond.

Claim (Index 11):
A computer-implemented method, comprising:\n receiving a three-dimensional model of an object; slicing the three dimensional model of the object into a plurality of layers; determining two or more portions of a first layer of the plurality of layers and two or more portions of a second layer of the plurality of layers, each portion corresponding to an area of the object, wherein each portion of the second layer corresponds to an area that is different than areas corresponding to the portions of the first layer; assigning the two or more portions of each of the first and second layers to two or more additive manufacturing robots; generating toolpath information for the object based on the portions of the first and second layers, wherein the toolpath information includes data defining tool paths that are a specified distance apart for adjacent portions in the first and second layers such that the adjacent portions bond at an edge; and providing the generated toolpath information to the two or more additive manufacturing robots, wherein each additive manufacturing robot is configured to move independently and without interference from another additive manufacturing robot.
