Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the most common 3D printings technologies. Low cost and the ability to produce models using wide range of thermoplastic makes this process suitable for rapid prototyping and manufacturing some commercial parts. The mechanism of this printer is 4-DOF parallel machanism with one additional degree of freedom resulting from rotation of printer bed about z-axis. In order to generate tool path for 5-DOF printer, a CAM software was developed with python. For controling the printer, control software was designed based on open-source marlin framework. Since original framework only supports 3-axis printers, source code needed to be changed such as extending source code to support 5-axis and adding machanism inverse kinematics. By using this 5-Dof mechanism, the prints of complicated parts without using the support are possible.
