dc.title: Contour Toolpath Planning with Limits on Bead Width Constraints in WAAM dc.description.abstract: Wire arc additive manufacturing using variable bead width contour toolpath have shown great promise in generating toolpath achieving high dimensional accuracy while avoiding voids. However, existing contour toolpath planners do not take into account the printable bead width range in their toolpath generation. This is important when printing parts with wedge like features, typical of propell
