Hi printart,
To create your 3D printing program, you will also need a Slicer.
A slicer is a software that converts your 3D model into slice that can be printed one at the time.
RoboDK offers you to use a basic slicer called Slic3r. It's a free software, but it has some limitation.
Considering that the task you want to achieve will require to modify a lot of parameters compared to a standard plastic 3D printer, I would recommend you to take a look at Simplify3D.
You will have more freedom to adjust the parameters (width and height of each pass for example). It's not a very expensive software, 150 bucks or something like that if I recall well.
This software will output some Gcode that can be converted into robot code by RoboDK.
For the "action" of your tool.
In RoboDK you will create a 3D printing project. (Or machining project, both are the same.)
You will then have the "Program Events" option when you can tell RoboDK that you want, for example, to start the welding gun at the beginning of the path and stop it at the end.
希望it helps.
