Abstract
Methods and associated systems and apparatus for determining a tool path for use in additively manufacturing a structure. The methods may include receiving placement data indicative of a relative placement of a plurality of nodes, each node including one or more regional tool paths and each regional tool path for additively manufacturing a region of the structure. The methods may also include receiving operation data indicative of an operation to be performed in relation to at least one of the plurality of nodes, and resolving the at least one of the plurality of nodes into a resolved tool path for use in additively manufacturing the structure based on the received placement data and operation data.
