Path planning for WAAM

Motivation:

  • Local adjustment of material properties requires weld path planning under special requirements:
    • Temperature curves
    • Build-up strategies depending on the desired local component properties

Objective:

  • Research into a suitable method for weld path planning

Solution approach:

  • Decomposition of the planning problem into three levels
  • Deep integration of a SAT/SMT solver with efficient and abstract simulation of the welding process on a still incomplete welding path
