We define toolpaths as contours of a level-set function and fit these contours with a given fiber orientation distribution. To define the orientation error, we use the difference between the tangent vectors of these contours and the given fiber orientations. Our fit consist in an optimization problem where we minimize the orientation error subject to manufacturing constraints. Two examples are provided.
