US Patent 12128630 Systems and methods for controlling additive manufacturing

A method is disclosed for additively manufacturing a composite structure. The method may include receiving from a user a sketch of a cross-section of the composite structure and a desired height. The method may also include automatically generating a virtual model of the composite structure having a plurality of layers, each with a thickness related to the height. The method may further include receiving from the user at least one infill pattern for at least one of the plurality of layers, and causing an additive manufacturing machine to deposit a continuous fiber along segments of the at least one infill pattern.
