InterpolationSlicer

class compas_slicer.slicers.InterpolationSlicer(mesh, preprocessor=None, parameters=None)[source]

Bases: BaseSlicer

Generates non-planar contours that interpolate user-defined boundaries.

Attributes:

• mesh (:class: ‘compas.datastructures.Mesh’) – Input mesh, it must be a triangular mesh (i.e. no quads or n-gons allowed) Note that the topology of the mesh matters, irregular tesselation can lead to undesired results. We recommend to 1)re-topologize, 2) triangulate, and 3) weld your mesh in advance.

• preprocessor (:class: ‘compas_slicer.pre_processing.InterpolationSlicingPreprocessor’)

• parameters (dict)

Attributes

Inherited Attributes

horizontal_layers	Returns a list of all the layers stored in the slicer that are NOT vertical.
number_of_layers	Total number of layers.
number_of_paths	Total number of paths, number of open paths, number of closed paths.
number_of_points	Total number of points in the slicer.
vertical_layers	Returns a list of all the vertical layers stored in the slicer.

Methods

__init__(mesh[, preprocessor, parameters])
generate_paths()	Generates curved paths.

Inherited Methods

close_paths()	For paths that are labeled as closed, it makes sure that the first and the last point are identical.
find_vertical_layers_with_first_path_on_base()
from_data(data)	Construct a slicer from its data representation.
get_layers_dict()	Returns a dictionary consisting of the layers.
post_processing()	Applies standard post-processing operations: seams_align and unify_paths.
printout_info()	Prints out information from the slicing process.
remove_invalid_paths_and_layers()	Removes invalid layers and paths from the slicer.
slice_model(*args, **kwargs)	Slices the model and applies standard post-processing and removing of invalid paths.
to_data()	Returns a dictionary of structured data representing the data structure.
to_json(filepath, name)	Writes the slicer to a JSON file.
