Automated Generation of Robot MAG Surfacing Path for Rapid Prototyping System
Rapid prototyping is a complex business due to the high degree of uncertainty in the production process. The robot welding path plan for rapid prototyping system is a difficult problem. This investigation develops a novel approach to generate the robot welding path automatically based on the “slicing & stacking principle. The proposed robot welding path generation strategy is conducted by three steps. First, a fast region filling algorithm is applied to automatically calculated points of intersection between tool path segments and layer boundary. Secondly, these points are connected into a continuous tool path of welding robot. Thirdly, output module of the rapid prototyping system converts tool path plan result into robot programs, and exports to text files. Users can directly upload these program files to robot welding workstation to complete the rapid prototyping task.
