A 3D printing system with a six-axis robot has a higher degree of freedom than the conventional three-axis system. Thus, it can be used for modelling without using a support material and can execute a three-dimensional path, including movement in the z-direction. In this study, a 3D printing path generation method for a six-axis robot is proposed, comprising an equidistant division method for free-form surfaces and a method for generating curves based on tensile stresses generated in the modelled object. Subsequently, the design and production of a structure that utilizes the proposed method are demonstrated through an example.
