We adopt an on-the-fly strategy to t ackle these challenges, formulating the planner as a Deep Q-Network (DQN) based optimizer to decide the next `best' node to visit. We construct the state spaces by the Local Search Graph (LSG) centered at different nodes o n a graph, which is encoded by a carefully designed algorithm so that LSGs in similar configurations can be identified to re-use the earlier learned DQN priors for accelerating the computation of toolpath planning. Our met hod can cover different 3D printing applications by defining their corresp onding reward functions. Toolpath planning problems in wire-frame printing , continuous fiber printing, and metallic printing are selected to demonst rate its generality. The performance of our planner has been verified by t esting the resultant toolpaths in physical experiments. By using our plann er, wire-frame models with up to 4.2k struts can be successfully printed, up to 93.3% of sharp turns on continuous fiber toolpaths can be avoided, a nd the thermal distortion in metallic printing can be reduced by 24.9%.\n\ nRegistration Category: Full Access, Full Access Supporter\n\nLanguage For mat: English Language\n\nSession Chair: Lin Lu (Shandong University) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_533&sess=sess127 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
