Variable Layer Height Toolpaths

Variable Layer Height Toolpaths is a toolpath generation method in additive manufacturing that selectively varies the layer thickness across different regions of a printed part to optimize geometric accuracy, surface finish, and build efficiency, distinguishing itself from uniform layer height approaches by adapting layer height dynamically according to local curvature and feature complexity.
