Non linear slicing is also patent protected but there are some projects that modify slicers to do it.
I did some experiments with bricklaying using a macro in S3D and in all honesty it’s not worth it.
It doesn’t work all the time causes a lot of slicing edge cases on complex models and the cost in print time outweighs any strength gains.
For properly dried filament and a heated chamber the adhesion gains are within the margin of error.
I can also quite confidently say stratasys also currently does not implements it in GrabCAD* which is their slicers/CAM software and I’m not aware of any of their partner slicers/CAMs that do it either.
*There is a chance that they do it as a post processing step in their printers especially the super high end ones either globally or for select locations within the model but I’ve handled quite a few FDM prints on Stratasys machines and I’ve never actually seen it in a production model.
