Topology-consistent dynamic model sequences are essential for applications such as animation and model editing. However, existing 4D reconstruction methods face challenges in generating high-quality topology-consistent meshes. To address this, we propose a topology-aware dynamic reconstruction framework based on Gaussian Splatting. We introduce a Gaussian topological structure that explicitly encodes spatial connectivity. This structure enables topology-aware densification and pruning, preserving the manifold consistency of the Gaussian representation. Temporal regularization terms further ensure topological coherence over time, while differentiable mesh rasterization improves mesh quality. Experimental results demonstrate that our method reconstructs topology-consistent mesh sequences with significantly higher accuracy than existing approaches. Moreover, the resulting meshes enable precise 3D keypoint tracking. Project page: https://haza628.github.io/tagSplat/

Redundant robotic multi-axis additive manufacturing (MAAM) enables support-free and conformal fabrication, but trajectory optimization for long-horizon paths remains challenging under strict deposition-position constraints and time-varying collision constraints. This work proposes a computational framework for collision-aware trajectory optimization in redundant robotic MAAM. We first formulate nozzle-workpiece relative kinematics using a relative Jacobian, and develop a differentiable SDF-based collision model that captures fabrication-induced geometry evolution and provides optimization gradients. The deposition position is then enforced as a hard waypoint-wise equality constraint through iterative projection onto the self-motion manifold, with the loss gradient restricted to the corresponding tangent space. Experiments on an 8-DOF robotic MAAM platform with diverse long-horizon support-free and conformal toolpaths show that our method maintains a mean nozzle-position error below 10μm, reduces maximum joint jerk by up to $77.6\%$, and eliminates all sampled collision and orientation violations. Compared with the SQP-based baseline, it achieves up to a 10.2x speedup and improved convergence. Physical fabrication experiments further verify that the resulting smooth, collision-free trajectories enable successful printing of complex geometries with fewer visible deposition artifacts.
