近年來三維列印技術快速發展，如何自動產生良好的製程規劃，已成為關鍵議題之一。本研究針對彈性變向佈料高速成型技術，發展創新性製程規劃功能，提供驅動成型機台的重要製造資訊。此項製程規劃參考過往文獻中，減法製程規劃的基本概念，接著考量加法製程的特性下，建立一個適用於快速成型技術的規劃架構。主要包括四個部分：概念設計、總體規劃、微觀規劃與製程模擬，分別確定對應的進行步驟，以及輸入輸出的資訊，並針對常見的基本幾何，完成軟體功能的實作。彈性變向佈料於曲面成型具有明顯的優勢，故提出曲面的佈料假設與成型誤差，並發展一項同步擾動近似演算法，決定佈料頭較有效率的運動軌跡，最後以商用軟體模擬成型結果，驗證本研究的正確性與應用價值。

3D Printing has made a great progress in recent years. One of the key issues in applying 3D printing in industry is to automatically generate a good process plan. This research aims at developing a novel process planning framework for high speed flexible 3D freeform forming technology. The framework provides essential manufacturing information that drives both the forming process and equipment. The framework design fully considers the characteristics of additive manufacturing in shaping material and the differences from traditional subtractive manufacturing. It consists of four main parts: conceptual design, macro-planning, micro-planning, and process simulation. The procedure of each part is analyzed in detail with output/input information clearly identified. Corresponding software functions are implemented for basic geometric elements. The forming technology of our concern is highly advantageous in constructing 3D freeform surface. Therefore, this research proposes an error estimation model for the surface forming. An optimization scheme is constructed to calculate efficient motion for the forming head. Finally, a commercial software tool is used to simulate the forming process. The simulation results validate the feasibility of the proposed framework and the practical values of this work.
