A geometry core could be related to the particular 3D platform used to design the object, e.g. the particular file type used by AUTOCAD. Or it could be related to the core geometry of the computer designed shape. The method disclosed provides a design of a three-dimensional object to be generated; determining the geometry core used to design the three-dimensional object; converting/translating the geometry into a number of targets based on the determined geometry core; determining a toolpath for a multi-axis robot having an extruder head with material for generating the three-dimensional object based on the targets; calculating the motion required such that the multi-axis robot follows the toolpath; and executing the motion of the multi-axis robot (350) to generate the three-dimensional object according to the design. Accordingly, the versatility of the multi-axis robot is increased. The method is used to ensure that different design files can be translated into robot readable files (e.g. printing files). An extruder is also disclosed which has a polygonal nozzle, comprising a plurality of interconnect blades that lock in a first position to close the orifice or splay in a second position to open orifice. |
