Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for incremental 3D printing, wherein wireframes are generated and printed (scheduled for print) during the design process. In another aspect, systems and methods are provided for printing arbitrary meshes. A 3D printer system is described having, for example, five degree-of-freedom (5DOF). The 5DOF printer may be used to perform any of the methods described herein and combinations of the methods.
