| contents | We introduce a general, scalable computational framework for multi-axis 3D printing based on implicit neural fields (INFs) that unifies all stages of toolpath generation and global collision-free motion planning. In our pipeline, input models are represented as signed distance fields, with fabrication objectives such as support-free printing, surface finish quality, and extrusion control being directly encoded in the optimization of an implicit guidance field. This unified approach enables toolpath optimization across both surface and interior domains, allowing shell and infill paths to be generated via implicit field interpolation. The printing sequence and multi-axis motion are then jointly optimized over a continuous quaternion field. Our continuous formulation constructs the evolving printing object as a time-varying SDF, supporting differentiable global collision handling throughout INF-based motion planning. Compared to explicit-representation-based methods, INF-3DP achieves up to two orders of magnitude speedup and significantly reduces waypoint-to-surface error. We validate our framework on diverse, complex models and demonstrate its efficiency with physical fabrication experiments using a robot-assisted multi-axis system. |
