8.58. Create AM Scan Paths Filter
Group (Subgroup)
Core (Geometry/Processing)
Description
Given an input Edge Geometry, stripe width, hatch spacing, laser power, and scan speed, this Filter will generate an Edge Geometry representing the additive manufacturing scan paths along with arrays containing times for each scan path node and powers, region ids, and slice ids for each scan path. The “SliceTriangleGeometry” filter is typically used before this filter to generate the proper edge geometry.
Examples of Scan Vector Width and Spacing Values
