LayerGeometry

class pyslm.geometry.LayerGeometry(mid=0, bid=0, coords=None)

Bases: ABC

A Layer Geometry is the base class type used for storing a group of scan vectors or exposures. This is assigned a model id (mid) and a build style (bid).

A set of coordinates are always available via coords. The coordinates should always be provided as a numpy array with a shape of \(N \times 2\) corresponding to the LayerGeometry type indexing such as:

• ContourGeometry

• HatchGeometry

• PointsGeometry

Attributes Summary

bid	The Build Style Id for the LayerGeometry.
coords	Coordinate data stored by the LayerGeometry.
mid	The Model id used for the LayerGeometry.

Methods Summary

boundingBox()
type()	Returns which type the layerGeometry is in the derived class.

Attributes Documentation

bid

The Build Style Id for the LayerGeometry. The Build Style Id refers to the collection of laser parameters used during scanning of scan vector group and must be available within the Model used.

coords

Coordinate data stored by the LayerGeometry.

mid

The Model id used for the LayerGeometry. The Model Id refers to the collection of unique build-styles assigned to a part within a build.
