The 5-Axis Laser Aided Manufacturing Process (LAMP) system is the process in which the material deposition and material removal processes are integrated. The system exploits the additional rotation axes in order to reduce the support structures. Therefore, the hybrid system has the capability to build complicated geometry with a single setup. The strategy to decompose the 3D model into cells and the algorithm to arrange the deposition sequence of those cells are discussed in the paper. Once the sequence is determined, the cells are sliced into non-uniform layers. The gap problems between deposition tracks on each layer are eliminated by using the algorithm to generate the "Spiral-like" tool path for deposition process.
